The US Congressional elections brought about a marvelous change in the legal system that should better uphold the system of checks and balances in regards to the influence of the White House. The Democrats now control a majority of the Congress with 232 seats to 203 Republican seats. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is now the first female Speaker of the House and is third in line should disaster befall the President and Vice-President. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md) has been selected to serve as House Majority Leader. John Boehner (R-OH) is expected to continue serving his party as Minority Leader. In the Senate a perfect balance between Democrat and Republican formed. 48 seats are Democratic and 48 seats are Republican with 2 seats going to Democratic leaning Independents. The Senate has not yet appreciated the beauty of this perfect balance in triumph against the tyranny of the majority and it is hoped that they will rethink their job titles to two equal Party Leaders for more Platonic governance. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) will lead the Democrats. Whereas Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) is retiring from politics in 2007 a new Republican party leader must be chosen and Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) is the best candidate to reflect Republican respect for equal rights and civil liberties. We all look forward to the political agenda of 2007.
Merchants, manufacturers and consumers must cooperate to buy and sell American products to slow the growth of the trade deficit from –$829 billion in FY 2006, to no more than $850 billion in FY 2007. Only when US petroleum reserves and other development projects begin working can we expect the deficit to begin going down. As a share of U.S. GDP, the trade deficit remained 6.6%. Liberal economic theory upon which our national economy was founded is reliant upon freedom. In review of the statistics the trade deficit is directly linked to Nixon’s war on drugs and was aggravated with the passage of every mandatory minimum sentencing law. Congress must liberate commerce from the judiciary and should subsidize Buy American negotiations, with tax relief, to improve the trade balance without raising prices. It is hoped that private companies will Buy American of their own accord in fulfillment of their patriotic duty to bring the trade deficit down by investing in import substitution. Bilateral free trade agreements also have a proven track record for reducing trade deficits towards a balance closer to equality between nations. Ultimately the trade deficit will be balanced by American respect for freedom.
Armed Forces
Retirement Home HA-11-11-06
To honor America’s finest soldiers - veterans - this Chapter
shall be drafted annually on 11-11, Armistice Day, until 2010 when the new law
shall be ready for Congress. The special agreement between Iraq and the United States of
America regarding the Multi National Forces Mandate was distributed on 11 November 2005,
Armistice Day. On that same day Iraq Ambassador Samir Shakir Sumaidaie Permament
Representative to the United Nations delivered a speech to the UN General
Assembly when he explained that the Security Council must veto Chapter VII
military missions in favor of the pacific settlement of disputes under Chapter
VI. Sir Richard Dannatt, the
head of the British Army – America’s most important ally in Iraq - told the
British press that the presence of British armed forces in Iraq “exacerbates
the security problems” and that they should “get out some time soon.” On 29 October 2006 Iraq Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki and President Bush agreed to the joint goals of speeding up training
of Iraqi soldiers and “handing over security responsibility to the Iraqi
government.” With economic growth at a
low of 1.6% this quarter, the trade deficit above $800 billion and budget
deficit at $248 billion the US military is set to foreclose on their money
laundry to help the nation address its economic woes and those of Afghanistan
to rekindle sustainable growth.
2006 Congressional Elections HA-7-11-06
The USA is the best of nations and the
worst of nations. This uncontroversial duality
explains the anxiety of the public and parties that agree that CHANGE is needed
but are fearful of the worst that the upcoming elections have to offer on
Tuesday 7 November 2006. About 172
million Americans are so far registered to vote; 175 million registered for the
2004 presidential election. A smaller share will cast ballots, in 183,000
voting precincts. The new HAVA of 2002
regulations regarding a voter database and government ID are now in effect. 33 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate
being contested as well as 36 state governorships. The Senate is currently composed of 55 Republicans, who have been
in the majority since 2003, 44 Democrats, and one Democratic-leaning
Independent. To control 51 seats, a
majority in the Senate, Democrats would need a net gain of six seats. There are 17 Democratic and 15 Republican
senatorial incumbents contesting their seats.
All of the 435 seats of the House of Represenatives are up for election
this year. Republicans currently hold a
28 seat advantage, and Democrats would need to pick up 15 seats to take control
of the House, which has had a Republican majority since 1995. It remains to be seen if the Democrats will
win the majority of the House and Senate.
5th Draft of the
Constitution of Hospitals & Asylums Non Governmental Economics HA-4-11-06
The fifth CHANGE is the first to
incorporate a comprehensive set of economic laws in Art. 4 and history of HA in
Art. 1 of the 11 Article Constitution.
This draft is most notable as the conception of Sanders’ Clause, that
money spent is money earned. The amount
of money a person spends is directly related to the amount of money they
earn. Spending must not exceed earnings
to maintain a balanced budget and stay out of debt. Trust funds must be cautious of growing so fast that they do not
participate in any administration. Taxes return in the form of highways, health
and welfare benefits. Bills and
contributions result in improved opportunities for work. Investment in technology improves
productivity. Money given to charity
and pro-poor government leads to more happy people. Conversely money given to pro-rich and armed governments makes
people unhappy. To keep up the
appearance of timeliness firmly established in the first four draft of this
Constitution the date given for this draft is 11 November, Armistice Day,
although it was actually done 4 November 2006.
The teachers have been moved to the top of the email list of monthly
subscribers and the World Trade Organization (WTO) and Ohio Advocates for
Mental Health have been recognized. The
list of friends has been
amended to reflect the new status quo of the Gross Aggregate Membership
Expenditures (GAME) of Hospitals & Asylums (HA), poorer than ever.
1st Internet
Governance Forum HA-1-11-06
The Internet Engineering Task
Force responded to tell me to make reference to Liasion Statement [Inquiry
#89845]. The primary issue introduced
to the 1st Internet Governance Forum regarded the establishment of a UN Treaty Body to
draft a treaty upholding the rights of Internet users and the standards of
the world wide web. Although the
Galactic Network information sharing concept was conceived of in 1963 it was
not until
1989 that Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. The government advocated at the Forum was
the Internet Society (ISOC) and their two agencies the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C),
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Other organizations are contributing
towards deeper understanding of the cultural and practical implications of this
global and growing network such as the Internet Society (ISOC), the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
It is hoped an international treaty will make free Internet research
more fun and profitable.
