is too harsh a mistress for my work on pulmonology, ear, nose and throat to get
done as fast as the heart, brain and GI.
I am halfway done with the entire textbook and my very status as a homo sapien seems to have brought into
question the folly of clearcutting the land to construct a house in a month or year
when a tarp structure could be strung up in the trees in a day and be built warm
enough in the winter with a fire and natural materials, to sustain a writer
colony. Unfortunately, the only place
you can get a piece of land for a reasonable price seems to be a hundred miles
from the nearest road, three miles from the nearest neighbor and fifty years
ago. I'd cite Bradford Angier's work but
I've been asked to leave the commune and am hitchhiking to the Fourth of July
parade early. Internet use and to a
lesser extent, as it is defensible as an artform, writing, are as tangible a
social disability as leprosy, that is contagious with long term exposure, was,
before they developed some nice colonies in Hawaii for them. I hope they enjoy the earth oven at the base
camp to blaze the trail to the waterfall and mine along the creek and 10 x 10
plot of dirt and the patch on the fence shepherds the goats to pastures as
green as the meadow, as much as I enjoy the stone desk and impromptu natural
plank bench. I sincerely hope America
learns to protect their writers from the social-democratic networking that
bankrupted both the European Union and United States (were it not for my budget
and appreciation of developing nation currencies).
Black Medicare and Social Security Commissioner HA-17-6-13
A bill to amend the DI tax rate to 2.61%,
1.305% for employees and 1.305% for employers under Sec. 201(b)(1)(S) of the
Social Security Act 42USC(7)II§401
and the OASI tax rate to 9.79%, 4.895% for
employee under 26USC(C)(21)(A)§3101 (a) and 4.895% for employers under 26USC(C)(21)(A)§3111 (a) without increasing the overall 12.4% OASDI or 15.3% OASDI and
Hospital Insurance (HI) tax-rate under 26USC(A)(2)§1401. To require the
Chief Actuary to account for SSI in the 2014 Annual Report of the Board of
Trustees of the Federal Old-Age Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability
Insurance Trust Funds. To require the Chief Actuary to account
for Medicaid in the 2014 Annual Report of the Hospital Insurance and
Supplemental Medical Insurance Trust Funds. To commission an empirical survey of
Social Security beneficiaries by race at the request of the President, to investigate the possibility
of statistically significant discrimination against blacks in the
administration of social security benefits, aiming to redress this racial
disparity with SSI on the rational basis of poverty under Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 42USC(21)V§2000d-1. To eliminate
discrimination (disclaimer) against naturalization papers in the administration
of social security cards, state ID and passports.
To
discuss paying for SSI with OASDI without raising tax rates until 2020 to
reduce the deficit. To purchase the
rights to the balanced federal budget for $1,000 and Hospitals & Asylums
work in general from the author for $1,000 a month DI. Be it enacted by
the acting Commissioner of Social Security Carolyn W. Colvin. The proceeds of
the tax provisions of the ACA, which extends Medicare taxation to income,
without limit, are not evident because they were stolen by the General Fund,
but there is no cause for concern for the solvency of Medicare in the immediate
future only interference with health care matters by the federal
government. The names of the CMS
administrator Ms. Tavenner and acting Chief Actuary Mr. Spitalnic warn against
dependency upon health care providers who can no longer be relied upon for
moral support, as of the annual report dated May 31, 2013 (nerds beware)!!!
