Fall Equinox
Vol. 10 Is. 3
This
quarter is dedicated to the teachings of Jesus Christ, a great healer with a
specialty in helping the blind to see. I
was baptized in July and read the New Testament, cover to cover, on the journey
to the promised land of my niece Ellie,
that in the language
of Christ’s dying words means, “My God”.
Matthew 27:46 recounts at the death of Jesus, about three o'clock he
cried with a loud voice, "E'li, E'li, lema' sabach'thani"
that is "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me". Mark 15:34 pronounces Jesus' statement at
three o'clock differently, "E'loi, E'loi, lema' sabach'thani",
but the meaning is the same, "My God, my god why have you forsaken
me". Luke 23: 46 marks Jesus' dying
words as, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit". The death toll is about the same for brushes
with either organized Judaism, 1,600 in Operation Fried Potato Vodka of Hanukah
2008-9, or Christianity 1,600 in the Care Pakistan baptism below. Although this corruption puts a crimp in my participation
in organized religion and enjoyment of the social, sexual and financial
benefits therefrom it does not prevent me from finding solace in the written
words of theology.
For me, the primary lesson of
Christianity is an inspirational belief in eternal life that gives one hope for
a complete recovery when conventional medicine has resigned rheumatism to old age. The New
Testament definitely gives one the wherewithal to flee to the wilderness for 40
days like Jesus
Christ after his baptism (Matthew 4).
For me, who was given the name Abraham at my bar mitzvah, it is even
more pointed. The Good Book says, By faith Abraham stayed for a time in the land he had been
promised as in a foreign land, living in tents.
For he looked forward to the city that has foundations,
whose architect and builders is God (Hebrews 11:9-10). My sister and her husband, who are planning
on building a new house on the cracked foundations of an old one by their
trailer on property they own, are doing the searching for the builders and
architects of God, but the estimates are elusive, the best one is $35 per
square foot if you do it yourself, $90 per square foot if you hire a
contractor, and $100 per square foot if you buy a new or used house. Anyone with knowledge about green small home
construction is encouraged to write.
All that I have to do is lead a free and
virtuous life in hopes that I, like Abraham, can by faith be received of the
power of procreation, even though he was too old. Or at least a nice rheumless room by winter. It is, Therefore from one person, and this
one as good dead, descendants were born, as many as the stars of heaven and as
innumerable grains of sun by the seashore (Hebrews 11:11-12). It is from old, shy Abraham that the 12
tribes of Israel, Christians and Muslims all trace their ancestry. I just pray to find sustenance in that, Some believe eating anything, while the weak eat only
vegetables (Romans 14:2). Those who eat
must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass
judgment on those who eat, for God has welcomed them
(Romans 14:3).
The work of this summer has been edited
with respect of the campaign to Socialize Civil Law that has yet to be
concluded in a pamphlet titled, Socialism for Social Workers. It is fitting that faith in God would survive
in the summer socialism perished. The
social worker themselves faces stiff competition from the funeral director for
the office of Probate Judge after the lawyers were debarred and priests
defrocked. Socialists and communists made a number of errors in their
totalitarian dictatorships but if they could only clean up their propaganda so
as to be indignant at all violence, discrimination and oppression, socialist
revolution definitely has a role representing the disadvantaged in a
multi-party democracy, such as we so long for in this nation so oppressed by
the Democratic and Republican (DR) bi-partisan system. A system so corrupt as to wish to reduce
benefits when confronted with trillions of dollars in social security savings
they routinely raid to finance their earmarks.
A system so perverse as to drive South African workers
to strike for the work of one Customs Court monument engraver in New York City. A system so jealous
of war as to perpetrate Acts of God in lands we are at peace. A system so
forgetful of the Monroe Doctrine as to embezzle their own funds to validate the
claim of Europeans that you’re a peon.
The system that was invented to start the Civil War that occurred
because the founding fathers were such stupid, greedy and belligerent
aristocrats they did not arrange to free their slaves in exchange for national
freedom from colonialism.
Review of the
2010 Medicare and Social Security Trustee Reports HA-12-8-10
The 2010 annual report is the 70th such
report for the Social Security Trustees and 45th for the Medicare
Trustees. Although the reports were due
April 1 they were not submitted until August 5, 2010. At the end of 2009, the
number of social security beneficiaries rose to 53 million people from 51
million the year before: 36 million retired workers and dependents of retired
workers, 6 million survivors of deceased workers, and 10 million disabled
workers and dependents of disabled workers. Medicare is the health insurance
program offered to retired and disabled OASDI beneficiaries. In 2009, 46.3 million people were covered by
Medicare: 38.7 million aged 65 and older, and 7.6 million disabled. 45.9
million people were insured under Part A, 43 million
paid premiums for Part B Supplemental Medical Insurance and 33 million for Part
D drug benefits. During the year, an
estimated 156 million people had earnings covered by Social Security and paid
payroll taxes, down from 163 million in 2008.
2005-2010 will be the first five year period since the inception of the
program that the number of covered workers has declined to 3.0 workers per
beneficiary. Total expenditures in 2009 for Social Security were $686 billion,
total income was $807 billion ($689 billion in tax revenue and $118 billion in
interest earnings), and assets held in special issue U.S. Treasury securities
grew to $2.5 trillion. In 2009 the DI
Trust Fund registered a $12 billion deficit for the first time and is not
expected to return to solvency; however the interest earnings from the OASI
Trust fund more than offset this account deficit. Program costs for both OASI and DI are
estimated to exceed tax income in 2010 and 2011 due to the economic
recession. Total Medicare benefits paid
in 2009 were $502 billion, income was $508 billion, expenditures were $509
billion, and assets held in special issue U.S. Treasury securities were $381
billion. After many years of concern
regarding looming insolvency the HI Trust Fund registered a $1 billion account
in deficit in both 2008 and 2009 that is projected to increase. Legislation outlaws back pay for prisoners
and fugitive felons, provides back pay withholding for non-attorney representatives,
and reimburses the OASDI Trust Funds for a temporary tax incentive to exempt
employers who hire unemployed workers from their share of OASDI
contributions. The “Affordable Care Act”
or ACA, contains roughly 165 provisions affecting the
Medicare program and is estimated to postpone the exhaustion of HI trust fund
assets from 2017 under the prior law to 2029 under current law. In 2010 there will be no Cost of Living
Adjustment for beneficiaries and to hold harmless beneficiaries with annual
incomes less than $15,000 shall be exempt from the 14.6% increase in the price
of 2010 Medicare premiums.
United States of
Apartheid: South African Government and Metalworker Unions Strike HA-27-8-10
State employees in South Africa
demanding an 8.6 percent pay increase and a housing allowance of 1,000 rand
($136) a month, although the government says it can’t afford to raise its offer
of a 7 percent increase and a 700 rand allowance, went on strike on August 18.
South Africa’s annual inflation rate is currently 4.2 percent. Unions
representing about 1.3 million state workers, including the 250,000 member
National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union are on strike. The 70,000 National Union of Metalworkers of
South Africa (NUMSA) plans to strike from Sept. 1. In 2009 50% of the population lived below the
poverty line, 24% were unemployed and actively looking for work, and most
tellingly the distribution of family income rates a 65 on the Gini index the second most unequal in the world. Nonetheless South Africa is a remarkably
successful African nation. South
Africa’s $505 billion GDP is 17.7% of the African total, 28% of sub-Saharan
Africa although its 49 million people comprise only 4.9% of Africa and 5.9% of
sub-Saharan Africa’s population. In 2009
the South African economy contracted 1.8% in 2009 and the government ran a
$16.8 billion deficit that was 3.3% of the GDP however the public debt of 29.5%
of GDP is within reason. The budget is
nearly within the reasonable limit of 3% of GDP and must not give in to the
unreasonable union demands. Any money
they borrow will come out not only from profits but from existing equitable
capital to hurt overall economic growth.
To be fair the union will have to invent a progressive system of
taxation of their own to ensure the rich pay for the poor to get satisfactory
raises in the thriving middle class of government and industrial workers. It may not be the union’s rights that need to
be fulfilled but their responsibility. A
developed nation must afford a progressive income tax that provides the poor
with an adequate safety net. Social
justice for those alienated and tortured consumers is the surest foundation for
success and happy and safe working conditions.
For instance, the rand commands high wages in the monument engraving
sector of the United States but to emerge as a fully developed country South
Africa must institute a progressive income tax to guarantee all South Africans
an income above the poverty line. The
Government’s policy on welfare organizations is based on the principle that
each population group should serve its own community in the sphere of welfare.
Care Pakistan:
The Seeds of Flood Relief HA-21-8-10
Over the course of July and early August 2010, Pakistan experienced the
worst monsoon-related floods in living memory. Heavy rainfall, flash floods and
riverine floods have devastated large parts of Pakistan since the arrival of
seasonal monsoon rains on 22 July. The five rivers that drain
northern Pakistan join to form the Indus River that drains into the Arabian
Sea. The water flow is expected to reach 1 million cubic feet per second,
nearly double the flow of the Mississippi River. This is 10 times the normal
flow of the Indus. Much of the nation’s 170 million people live in the
floodplain. About
one million homes have been damaged, twenty million people have been displaced
and the loss of life is estimated at anywhere from 1,300 to 1,600 lives.
160,000 sq. km of land have been submerged, a fifth of the country. Villages and villagers were reportedly washed
away by walls of water, entire districts submerged, cropland inundated, drinking
water contaminated, communications down, bridges destroyed, roads gone, schools
gone, homes gone, thousands of them in the more severely affected
districts. An estimated 6 million people
need food, 2 million are homeless and 750,000 homes have been destroyed or are
in need of repair. The World
Bank has pledged $900 million and the Asian Development Bank has given $3
million for immediate needs and committed at least $2 billion over the next two
years for reconstruction. The United
Nations is asking for another $450 million to deal with immediate humanitarian
needs and as of August 17, 2010, $125 million had been contributed. Taking
into consideration its military history of cloud seeding the U.S. Treasury can
recover from the billions of dollars of freely traded surplus from Afghan
operations to immediately pay the outstanding $250 million, without dipping
into the General Fund, for the immediate humanitarian needs of flood victims in
Pakistan.
Title 24 CFR Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Everyone has a social and economic
right to a happy home. A happy home is necessary for a healthy and
wealthy household, the fundamental unit of human socio-economy. Social workers shall judge tenant landlord relations
courts and be authorized to settle mortgage loan disputes. There are an estimated 700,000 homeless
people living in the U.S. HUD has a
number of public housing programs provide the poor, aged and disabled shelter,
affordable rent, insure mortgages and eliminate discrimination and abuse in
public housing programs. Public housing
policy must prioritize liberty. It is
estimated that 3,000-5,000 emergency homeless shelters with 20 to 60 beds are
needed to make up for the loss of 115,000 beds between 1996 and 2005. To close all state mental institutions and
private psychiatric hospitals it is estimated that around 500-1,000 new +/- 25
bed community mental health shelters and group homes will be needed annually
for the duration of a ten year final round of deinstitutionalization. There are 2.5 million admissions to
residential drug treatment annually and 600,000 people are incarcerate for so
called drug crimes, wherefore the government must provide probationers,
parolees and recovering addicts drug free homes. The lion share of the public housing burden
is on halfway houses to start up no less than 25,000 houses a year toward a ten
year goal of 2.5 million beds, with a 1:3-8 staff to resident ratio. Forfeited and seized homes need to be put to
good use. At the end of 2006 there were
$13.3 trillion in U.S. mortgage loans.
The number of homes sales dropped from a high of 7.2 million in 2005 to
6.48 million in 2006, the average home price declined
nearly 1% to $200,000. The number of
foreclosure filings rose from about 885,000 in 2005 to 1,259,118 in 2006. An estimated 15.6% of sub-prime loans
originated since 1998 have ended up or will end up in foreclosure. Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans must be
repealed whereas statistics continue to deteriorate. Residents must submit to and not attempt to
dominate or subvert the head of household who likewise must not abuse or there
will be no capital society. Firms
function interdependently with households but have independent leadership.
The Case for Trashing Treason: Welcome to my Humble Third
Amendment HA-12-7-10
A pall was cast over my move to
Washington by the Doe et al v. Reed,
Washington Secretary of State where they were chilling with “homi-side” ultra
vires election law, but it’s pretty and well governed by women who got
robbed under color of costs after balancing the budget in tune with my happy
home. The health inspector first incited
dangerous sado-masochism, taking no responsibility for
the breech of my work or lease, or $70 trillion and derivatives of files
stolen, the Attorney General wore a negligee
to the Supreme Court triggering the destruction of records relating to employee
misconduct that cost $3 billion. We just
received the three day pay or vacate notice at a second home. This will be the second month in two months
that I have had to pay the rent twice.
Fleeing the anti-histamenes to the abuse of process of another tenant
being prosecuted by a tire slasher to move her stuff
out of her ex’s in her sweet time, Mom, kept her “job” secret from the men of
the house and when both tenants had paid the rent, fled the State. She didn’t return her calls and now admits to
her adult daughter, she never intended to pay.
A social worker in the tenant landlord relations court shall bring the
Women of Washington peace.
CHAPTER

To
amend Chapter 2 Soldier’s and Airmen’s Home §41-70. the
American Legal System has failed, lawyers are either behind bars or drunk on
power, a civil law system must be instituted by lowering law school entrance to
high school graduates and the bar exam to BA and honorably disbar all lawyers
who are elected or appointed to public, commercial or social office other than
judicial, a Civil Law Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
and this Chapter will establish 5 year terms for federal judges, with a two
term limit for justices, repeal the constitutional right to bear arms and
quartering of troops in people’s homes, to change the name of prosecutor to
district attorney, elect licensed social workers to adjudicate probate,
divorce, mental illness, substance abuse, tenant-landlord and small claims, to

Grant (JAG) and other extra-jurisdictional finance entirely to halfway house
programs, to reduce the jail and prison population to less than 250 per 100,000
residents, and to eliminate court filing fees for prose to benefit the poor. In 2001, the
majority of the 93 million judicial cases filed, were processed by 15,555 state
trial courts operating under the supervision of the county; 13,515 of limited
jurisdiction and 2,040 of general jurisdiction, operated by 29,266 judges. There were 55.7 million traffic cases filed,
15.8 million cases were filed with the civil division, 14.1
million Criminal cases, Domestic Relations processed 5.3 million cases, 2
million criminal cases were filed in Juvenile Courts and
276,408 cases were filed with the Appellate Courts…219
CHAPER 3 Health and Welfare (HAW)
To
amend Chapter 3 National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers §71-150. To pass a Balanced Budget Amendment replacing
the second amendment right to bear arms in the U.S. Constitution it
is necessary to respect that in a democracy the people are sovereign and ensure
their human rights are fulfilled.
Socialism is explained to appoint licensed social workers Administration
Law Judges (ALJs) enabled to adjudicate medical malpractice liability and
relegate agency lawyers to Court.
Cardiovascular disease is added to the Disability Quick List. The name
of the Centers for Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP (CMS) is changed to National
Health Insurance (NHI) and is transferred to SSA along with other mandatory
benefit programs held by the Public Health Service. Medical cost increases are limited to less
than 3% annually. Patients shall be
enabled to refuse to pay for unnecessary, overpriced or harmful medical
treatment with judgments of sovereign immunity.
The U.S. is the only nation that does not have universal health
insurance and health expenditures are the most in the world, consuming more
than 16% of the GDP. The U.S. shall
evolve a universal single payer health insurance system and then a national
health service that is free for everyone.
During 2008, an estimated 162 million people had earnings covered by
Social Security and paid payroll taxes.
One-in-six Americans received a Social security benefit, 51 million
people, 35 million retired workers and dependents of retired workers, 6 million
survivors of deceased workers, and 9 million disabled workers and dependent of
disabled workers. Total benefits paid in
2008 were $615 billion, total revenues were $805 billion and assets grew to
$2.4 trillion. Together Medicare and
Medicaid served 87 million people at a combined cost of $702 billion. In 2009 38 million people used food stamps at
a cost of $53.6 billion. The number of
Temporary Assistance for Needy Family beneficiaries has decreased from 1.42
million in 1993 to less than 5 million in 2003 at a cost of roughly $20 billion
to the federal government. In 2001, 6.9
million custodial parents were due an average of $5,000, $34.9 billion was due
and $31.9 billion (62.6%) received, averaging $3,200 per custodial family and
another $900 million was paid voluntarily.
Ultimately social security will enact a 1% social security payroll tax
for international development and eliminate the income cap on SSA contributions
to create a welfare system that will complete eliminate poverty…370
Book 5 International Development (ID)
To
amend Chapter 5 Columbia Institution for the Deaf §231-250. Under the Millennium Development, MDGs to end
poverty for 1990-2015, the number of hungry people living on less than $1 day
is to be cut in half to 622 million people.
In 2005 843 million people, 12.5% of the population, were hungry and
over a billion lived on less than a dollar a day, 21%. In 2009 after the economic crisis the number
of hungry people rose to 18%, 1.2 billion people and the number of poor to
22.9%, more than the 22.75% called for in the MDGs. The spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic has
already been halted and reversed. The
recession is a major setback and the only viable option is for the basket of
industrialized national currencies to appreciate developing nation currencies,
ending neo-colonial exploitation.
Official Development Assistance (ODA) growth must be sustained to
achieve the intermediate target of 0.7% of GDP on the way to a 1% social
security style payroll tax for international development. The US must account for their unique private
assistance flows in a up to date master table and
report to the UN Demographic Yearbook.
Voting at the Bretton Woods institutions must be reformed from
contribution based to population based, a one person one vote democratic
system. IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDR)
shall be the international reserve currency.
The US shall reduce the price of a
work visa from $2,500 to $500, purchase a quota from the Afghan Opium Agency,
and terminate funding of the Israeli/Egyptian US military finance race. The Foreign Service Exam shall be reserve for
people with a minimum qualification of a BA in International Affairs or
equivalency. The
U.S. shall amend Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse (a-FRaI-d) to Foreign Relations (FR-ee),
change the name of the Court of International of the United States (COITUS) to
Customs Court (CC), to finish dividing the USAID Bureau for Asia and the Near
East (ANE) into the Bureaus for the Middle East and Central Asia (MECA)
including India and South East Asia (SEA) including Oceania. Although the number of casualties of war have
gone down since the foundation of the United Nations income inequality, poverty
and deaths from preventable disease have increased and to democratically elect
a bona fide civilian government it is resolved to set down the General of the
United Nations (GUN), elect a Secretary of the UN (SUN), change ECOSOC to
Socio-Economic Administration, General Assembly to Parliament, Trusteeship to
Human Rights Council and establish an International Tax Administration by ratifying
the United Nations Charter Legitimate Edition (UNCLE)…674
Book
7 National Cemetery Organization (NCO)
To amend Chapter 7 National Cemeteries
§271-296
and repeal Chapter 7a Private and Commercial Cemeteries §298. A licensed
professional social worker shall be elected Probate Judge, with the option to
change the name of the Court to Justice of the Peace, who shall, free wills and
trusts from obligatory registration with the Court, and hear disputes regarding
wills and estates, written or intestate.
The mental illness jurisdiction shall be heard by a completely different
social work judge in an unrelated Mental Health Court. Death statistics shall be improved so that
both SSA and CDC publish death statistics annually from the previous year. It is estimated that 56,597,030 people died
around the world in 2004 an average of 863 death per 100,000, 0.86% of the
population with a life expectancy of 66 years.
It is estimated that 2,398,343 people died in the U.S. in 2004, 808 per
100,000, 0.83% of the population, a decrease of 49,945 from the previous year,
the life expectancy at birth in 2004 reached 77.9 years, 76 years for men and
80 for women. The leading cause of death
was cardiovascular disease (654,000), followed by cancer (550,000), stroke
(150,000), respiratory disease (140,000), accident (109,000), diabetes
(73,000), Alzheimer’s disease (66,000), influenza/pneumonia (61,500), nephritis
(43,000), septicemia (33,500), liver disease (27,000), homicide (22,000),
Parkinson’s (19,500), HIV/AIDS (13,000) and suicide (11,000). Estimates of the number of deaths caused by
medical malpractice and product liability range from 250,000 proven cases in
2004 to 780,000 in 2001 and taking into the consideration the damage caused by the
malevolent distribution of laboratory pathogens the number of death caused by
medical science can be conservatively estimated at over a million. To process the human remains there were
23,015 death care service establishments employing 165,000, 0.05% of the work
force, generating revenues of $12.6 billion, with a payroll of $3.5 billion,
not including the manufacturers of caskets and funeral supplies. Per death receipts for funeral services are
estimated to total $4,166 for a burial and $1,080 for a cremation on
average. Federal regulation of the
funeral industry is currently limited to the National Cemeteries under the
supervision of the Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs and a prohibition of unfair
and deceptive advertising in the funeral industry that must provide a general
price list to consumers. Under current
law estate taxes are limited to those estates valued over $3.5 million and
national revenues were only around $23 billion…967
