Federal Budget 2010

Although most of it holds true, several provisions of the Hospitals & Asylums Political Platform 2009-2012 are reversed in order to more precisely and proportionally neutralize the armed attack by President of the United States and Democratic and Republican (DR) partisans that has needlessly taken an estimated 211,002 lives 2009-2010 and lead the economy from the Great Recession. To make peace on a spirit level the tobacco tax of April 1, 2009 must be amended to provide for a flat 159% increase, reversing the greater than 2,000% increase on hand-rolling tobacco and small cigars and taxing the large cigars favored by investment bankers, while the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American Recovery Reinvestment Act of 2009, that were formerly called upon for repeal to limit damages there-under to the 111^th Congress, that has been dissolved in its entirety, are herein reconciled. Like in the colony of Virginia, the normalization of tobacco prices can be accepted as payment in lieu of currency, however immediate payment is imperative whereas this work accounts for a deficit of less than 3% of GDP by 2011, otherwise neither the Administration nor Congress will have performed. If the President cannot, henceforth, keep the Peace, to the satisfaction of the Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund, he shall be impeached under Art. 1(6), Art. 2(4) of, and Amendment 25(2), to the US Constitution, by the 111^th Congress, that would otherwise be dissolved, and a Chief Justice, who would otherwise be dismissed. This work, like all of my work, however, is not intended to create strife, it has been carefully crafted, with less than 1% deviance from Office of Management and Budget (OMB) figures, to correct the budgetary imbalances in the Historical Tables of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for the vindication of OMB Director Peter Orszag.

I have reviewed the written opinions of the principal officers of the executive departments, relating to their agency budgets under the FY 2011 Federal Budget pursuant to Art. 2(2)(1) of the U.S. Constitution. I have taken the liberty to faithfully transcribe, and in some cases justify, agency budget requests for the realization of our common goal of a balanced federal budget. I brought the federal deficit under 3% of GDP FY 2005-2007, and after taking a leave of absence in FY 2009, I am proud to announce the FY 2011 budget is balanced on paper. The deficit, after being adjusted upward from $1.4 trillion, 9,8% of GDP, to $1.6 trillion, 10.9% of GDP, in 2009, to account for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of that year, goes down dramatically. With Recovery Act capital to soften hardship agencies enjoy financial stability under reasonable 1-5% growth rates using 2008 as a base year. Many agencies did this themselves, but several recapitalized upon Recovery Act funding levels, they were corrected. Others, namely OPM with no FY 2011 budget, have been over-reported by OMB for years, others like SSA and DHS are limited to OMB appropriation levels. DOE needs to take responsibility for the Low Income Energy Program to justify budget increases and control energy prices. The entire column Defense – Civil is a duplicate of mostly mandatory VA benefits and the cost of reconstructing my beloved AFRH Gulfport home needs to be put on the VA books to justify its large increases. Congress is punished with 2007 levels of revenue until they produce a deficit less than 3% of GDP. Their social health insurance agenda is censured until its cost would not cause more than a 3% deficit, some talk of nationalizing health insurance to balance the budget is okay. Health and Human Services spending growth is limited to an annual 2.5% from 2008 and health care industry price increases are limited to 3% by law. The $200 billion annual DoD lending is forfeited to the General Fund of the Treasury and the Overseas Contingency Operations fund is terminated in FY 2011 for a DoD budget of $400 billion, world peace and a $214 billion deficit, 1.2% of the GDP, in FY 2012. The $200 billion TARP fund shall be returned in FY 2011 when a disciplined administration would enjoy a $427 billion deficit, 2.8% of GDP, not quite enough for health insurance, but better than one with a $1.067 trillion deficit, 6.9% of GDP. In other words, this document can save FY 2011, FY 2012 and the first term of the President.

The correlation between war and debt has haunted the United States Constitution since the Revolutionary War. In the 18^th century both Adam Smith in his Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) upon which our free market economy is founded and Immanuel Kant in his essay Perpetual Peace (1795) held that nations at war tend to get into debt to evade the people, who quickly tire of such a poor game, and act to end such nonsense. A Balanced Budget Amendment to the United States Constitution is called for in Chapter 8-D of the Constitution of Hospitals & Asylums Non Governmental Economics (CHANGE) that recalls as early as 1798, before the Louisiana purchase, Thomas Jefferson apologized, “I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution… taking from the Federal Government the power of borrowing. I know that to pay all proper expenses within the year would, in case of war, be hard on us. But not so hard as ten wars instead of one. For wars could be reduced in that proportion”. Unfortunately, James Madison, in drafting the Bill of Rights (1791), aggravated the debasement of the Supremacy clause at Art. 4(2) to public debt, by brandishing an unconstitutional right to bear arms in the face of the First Amendment right to sue the government for a redress of grievances, he and Jefferson had fought so hard to defend. Later Civil War debt was written into the Fourteenth Amendment. Several balanced budget amendments have been proposed however no one proposed Amendment has yet been agreed to, probably because the duty to balance the budget is subjugated by these technical errors in the Constitutional law that need to be repealed, for economic and constitutional law and reason in general to be truly superior to threats of violence, as is the true intention of all law and writing and learning.

While avoiding all contact with the family and government, to escape persecution, in 2009, I took the time, four hours, having already been fully briefed, to fully amend the U.S. Constitution HA-26-7-09, to create a government I could deal with, wherein the Balanced Budget Amendment replaces the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The general idea is the same one that brought immigrants fleeing tyranny to the American continent in the first place. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty god according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may (Articles of Faith 1:11). For the most part all the people want is the freedom of the press, trade, speech, religion, association and peaceable assembly. As for government, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, in his inaugural address in 1801, all that is wanted is “for a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, and leave them otherwise free to regulate their own affairs and industry”. Milton Friedman and his wife Rose’s classic inquiry into the relationship between freedom and economics Free to Choose (1980) explains the superiority of capitalist self-interest over socialist collectivism whereby “No external force, no coercion, no violation of freedom is necessary to produce cooperation amongst individuals, all of whom benefit.” In other words to enforce the law is to break the law and one would prefer to petition the government rather the barrel of a gun, or General of the United Nations (GUN) for that matter. By associating the First Amendment right to sue the government for a redress of grievances and a Second Amendment duty to balance the budget, rather than a bizarre right to bear arms, never before heard, never again repeated in any other countries and in a strictly legal sense definitely inferior to a constitutional right that is specifically intended to be superior to the awesome power of State sanctioned violence. More than any other Amendment to the U.S. Constitution this duty to balance the budget would bring the government into harmony with the writer rather than the fighter, and thereby forever increasing the peace and prosperity in our society.

The proposed Second Amendment duty to Balance the Budget states:

Section 1 Total outlays for any fiscal year shall not exceed total receipts for that fiscal year.

Section 2 Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall transmit to the Congress a proposed budget for the United States Government for that fiscal year in which total outlays do not exceed total receipts.

Section 3 The Congress shall enforce and implement a balanced budget by appropriate legislation.

II. Economic Damages

As everyone is well aware, the federal government, usually runs on a deficit, with some famous exceptions, such as when Andrew Jackson paid off the federal debt in 1835 and more recently when Bill Clinton ran a surplus in 1998-2000, is running the highest deficit in dollar terms in national history, well over $1 trillion in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the second highest as a percentage of GDP since WWII and the Confederacy during the Civil War. Unless federal spending is corrected the public debt will exceed 100% of GDP as soon as 2012. This 2010 the President and his Cabinet have proposed an FY 2011 budget that, although they freely admit outlays exceed receipts, can theoretically be balanced. At war since 2001, and financially dependant upon Hospitals & Asylums after bombing the largest reparation in world history on the Spring Equinox of 2003, and being directed to international economic cooperation in 2004, and national fiscal responsibility in 2005, by 2006, the war economy had been completely decoded whereas the deficit was neatly financed with bonds issued by the SSA off-budget surplus and military budgetary funds in excess of $300 billion propped up the stock market. The budget could be balanced if the military budget surplus and half of the social security revenue surplus was returned to the federal treasury. Under my command surplus defense spending was called in, by locally infringing OMB Director Robert Portman (now with Squire, Sanders and Dempsey a law firm receiving TARP funds), bringing the deficit from a high of $414 billion in 2004, 3.5% of GDP, to -$318 billion in 2005, 2.5% of GDP, to -$248 billion in 2006, 1.9% of GDP, and more effectively in 2007, when the deficit was reduced to a socially responsible -$161 billion, 1.1% of GDP. But without official acknowledgment of the source of these surplus military revenues, SSA could not be divested of their property, to achieve the common goal of peace and a balanced budget.
