A BILL
To supplement Chapter 3 National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers §71-§154. To treat the COVID-19 pandemic by passing the
included Hydrocortisone, Eucalyptus, Lavender, or Peppermint (HELP) Act before
there are any more snot nose child deaths in the 2020-2021 school year. To
devaluate the dollar by the $1.5 trillion amount of the Relief Acts, including
forgiveness of the up to $10 billion postal service and $250 billion state
unemployment compensation loans, plus whatever it takes to reduce the usual
deficit to less than 3 percent of GDP, no more than -$596 billion FY 21, less +/-
$133 billion foreign currency reserve, as a percent of recovering $19.9
trillion GDP, a $1.6 trillion, 8.2 percent devaluation if the tax measures are
passed or $1.8 trillion, 9.0 percent devaluation without taxes FY 21 pursuant
to the Marshall Lerner Condition under 19USC§4421 and 22USC§5301 et seq
. To limit global -10 percent economic contraction to less than -2 percent,
because instead of causing a reduction in prices, such as UN assessment of
devaluating nations in 2019, devaluation of the US dollar should uniquely
appreciate the size of the dollar backed global economy by the amount the
dollar is devaluated, except for real US GDP pursuant to 2020 Revised
estimates: effect of changes in rates of exchange and inflation Report of the
Secretary-General A/74/585 of 11 December 2019. To
continue to devaluate to maintain a deficit less than 3 percent of GDP until
the TCJA expires in 2025, when the advantage of taxing is the deficit would
certainly be less than 3 percent of GDP. To stop passing relief acts while
addicted to speed (ephedrine). To close the loophole on energy export tax by
amending 26USC§4612(b) to ‘In addition, there is
imposed a flat 5% energy export tax (feet) by the UN Arrears and Certain
Iranian Assets Bill of 2020.’ under 26USC§7201. To pay for a third of expiring
pandemic compensation beneficiaries without depleting the neglected DI trust
fund, it is necessary to close the OASDI tax loophole for the rich and state
employees beginning as soon as October 1, 2020 and no later than January 1, 2021
to pay for COVID-19 disabled workers and create an SSI Trust Fund to end child
poverty by 2024 and all poverty by 2030 by repealing the Adjustment to
Contribution Base at Sec. 230 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§430.
To improve the accounting of outlays, surplus or deficit and debt, the Combined
Statement must exclude lending and interagency transfers from agency budget
requests in a new and improved outlay overview table, for equal treatment with
receipts by source category pursuant to 2USC§661a(5)(A)(C). To sustain 3
percent growth in federal education outlays, exclude privately financed student
lending operations from the budget request total and make the education budget
rows historically consistent to facilitate auditing FY 22. To sustain 3 percent
growth in federal outlays for Housing and Urban Development it is necessary to
adopt a method of accounting overview that distinguishes the revenues and
outlays of federal and private programs. To sustain 2.5 percent growth in
public land agencies and 3 percent growth in Indian affairs outlays without
trauma, it is necessary for the Interior Department to quantify and distribute
their profit. To end the trade war it is necessary for
tariffs to be reduced 0.97 annually from 2016 levels pursuant to the Swiss
Formula for Unilateral Tariff Reduction (2007). To change the name of Homeland
Security to Customs, make Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) a
historically accounted Cabinet agency, transfer the Secret Service to Treasury
FY 21 and account for total Customs revenues in the Combined Statement
and total outlays in the Budget-in-Brief. To reauthorize the Census Bureau Annual
Statistical Abstract.
Be it enacted in the House and Senate Assembled
1st ed. 15 Sept. 2004, 2nd 1 June 2005, 3rd 18 June 2006, 4th 17 June 2007. 5th 12 June 2009, 6th 31 July 2010, 7th 17 Aug. 2011, 8th 14 July 2012, 9th 26 July 2015, 10th 7 Sept. 2015, 11th 17 Sept. 2017, 12th 22 Sept. 2018, 13th 12 November 2018, 14th 27 August 2020
1. Industrialized nations should
be able to limit economic decline to -5 percent from 2019 if a dab of
Hydrocortisone, Eucalyptus, Lavender or Peppermint (HELP) to the nose and/or
chest is prescribed by public health officials to cure coronavirus and/or mold
allergies to prevent escalation of the snot nosed child death in the 2020-2021
school year. Corticosteroids are the
definitive medical treatment for coronavirus.
Essential oils of eucalyptus, lavender or peppermint should be dispensed
in bathroom soaps so people can wash their nose, cleansers and humidifiers to
provide aromatherapy to entrances, and rooms.
Coronavirus is the only cold with a cure. Otherwise, the extraordinarily contagious
viral rhinitis descends the airways, fills the lungs with fluid and results in
death. Current - dollar GDP decreased
34.3 percent, or $2.15 trillion, in the second quarter of 2020 to a level of
$19.41 trillion. In the first quarter, GDP decreased 3.4 percent, or $186.3
billion. After two quarters of decline, economic depression is certain. The UN is estimating a -10 percent economic
contraction in GWP. World Economic Situations and Prospects April 2020 Briefing
No. 136 estimated a 1.7 percent best and -0.9 percent worst-case scenarios for
global growth in 2020 if restriction on economic activity end by third quarter.
It is now the third quarter and although some restrictions have been lifted,
masks, sneeze guards and 6 feet social distance are maintained. COVID-19 rages
on. The EU and US declared a -33 percent
contraction in the second quarter. There
is no denying economic depression has set in, after six months of recession.
Most recent UN estimates pessimistically predict a -10 percent decline in
economic activity for the entire 2020 year from 2019 levels. In April COVID-19 was estimated to slash
global economic output by $8.5 trillion over next two years. The report
estimated that GDP growth in developed economies was expected to plunge -5.0
percent in 2020 if the pandemic ended in six months. Because the inefficient US
relief act printed $1.5 trillion into circulation, 70 percent of the $2.15
trillion adjusted loss, a -5 percent decline in GDP seems fair FY 20. In the US
the COVID-19 pandemic exhibits the highest level of unemployment since the
Great Depression, four times as many the financial crisis of the Great
Recession incurred a -1.7 percent decline in GWP in 2009. For the period of
expansion from the second quarter of 2009 through the fourth quarter of 2019,
real GDP increased at an annual rate of 2.3 percent. Usual, 3.4 percent GWP
growth, less for the US 2.4 percent and EU 2.0 percent, is insufficient to make
up for the lost output, expected in 2021.
Because the
United Nations operates on a monetary system backed by, and quantified in the
US dollar, instead of causing a reduction in prices, such as the UN assessment
of devaluating nations in 2019, devaluation of the US dollar should increase
the size of the global economy pursuant to the Marshall Lerner Condition
19USC§4421 and 22USC§5301 et seq and 2020 Revised estimates: effect of
changes in rates of exchange and inflation Report of the Secretary-General
A/74/585 of 11 December 2019.

2. Economic depression is certain to have a negative impact on many sources of federal revenues. It is necessary for Congress to close the tax loopholes in the payroll tax for the rich and state employees and energy export tax, without any reservations or further denial of 2.5 percent annual payroll increase, to pay for COVID-19 disabled workers and small business owners bankrupted by the quarantine, and create a SSI Trust Fund to end child poverty by 2024 and all poverty by 2030. The usual deficit, not including relief acts, was preliminarily estimated at -$1 trillion FY 20 by OMB has gone up to -$1,084 billion FY 20 due to the pandemic. The good news is that the extended July 15, 2020 tax-day yielded 5 percent growth in individual income tax from April 15, 2019. Maybe tax-day should be permanently made July 15 and the deadline for the annual social security reports summer solstice June 20-21. Despite record levels of official unemployment running 10 percent to 12 percent, individual income and payroll taxes seem to be limiting potential contraction to +/-5 percent. The $1.5 trillion federal cost of the special issue bonds, including forgiveness of up to $10 billions postal service and $250 billion state unemployment compensation loans have been deferred until fiscal year 21. To conclude the FY 20 overspending crisis painlessly, in harmony with the Euro, without again irresponsibly prolonging the economic depression with the crippling price of public debt to the stock market, the Treasury has no option but devaluate the dollar October 1, 2020, the first day of fiscal year 2021. Devaluation is estimated by the deferred price of the relief acts and deficit in excess of 3 percent of GDP, less +/- $133 billion foreign exchange currency held by the Federal Reserve as a percent of $19.4 trillion GDP. However, GDP statistics and deficit cannot be better than wild guesstimates until the September Monthly Treasury Statement total is released and distributed by the 2020 Combined Statement and third quarter GDP estimates are released by BEA. Nonetheless, it is proposed that the US devaluate the dollar by the $1.5 trillion amount of the Relief Acts plus whatever it takes to reduce the usual deficit to less than 3 percent of GDP FY 21, no more than -$596 billion FY 21, less +/- $133 foreign currency reserve, a $1.6 trillion, 8.2 percent devaluation if the tax measures are passed or $1.8 trillion, 9.0% percent devaluation without taxes. To protect the stock market and promote the export economy, devaluation may want to be continued to offset deficits in excess of 3 percent of GDP until the tax relief for the rich from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) expires in 2025 or is defeated in the election, and the ability of usual revenue growth to sustain outlay growth is restored. Although it might be more accurate to express estimates as a range of possibilities it seems important to produce a precise estimate to devaluate by on October 1, 2020.

3. Since
taking office, President Trump has unilaterally imposed numerous new tariffs on
steel, aluminum, and a variety of goods from China, creating upward pressure on
prices in the United States. All these tariffs are unlawful under the Swiss
Formula for Unilateral Tariff Reduction (2007) and these safeguards must be
limited to not more than four years unless they are substantially justified,
which they are not, pursuant to Chapter XII and XIII of the General Agreement
on Trade and Tariffs (1994). He has squandered his industrial support on
tariffs. Based on 2019 import levels, U.S. and retaliatory tariffs currently
impact over $470 billion of imports and exports, and
President Trump’s tariffs are increasing annual consumer costs by roughly $57
billion annually. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit was $616.8 billion according
to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census. The U.S. Imported
$3.1 trillion of goods and services while exporting $2.5 trillion. The deficit
is lower than in 2018 when it was $627.7 billion. The deficit is less than the
record of $758 billion in 2006. The decrease since then means U.S. exports grew
faster than imports, that would be good for U.S. businesses and job growth, if
there were not a decline in total trade volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic in
2020. The dollar declined by 40% against the euro from 2001 through 2007. This
meant that U.S. goods and services were 40% cheaper for Europeans. That made
U.S. companies more competitive, increasing exports. The 2008 recession offset
this advantage, causing global trade to decline. U.S. goods exports dropped
from $1.3 trillion in 2008 to $1.1 trillion in 2009. Imports fell from $2.1
trillion in 2008 to $1.6 trillion in 2009. Both exports and imports have risen
since then. This was despite the continued strength of the dollar since 2009,
due to the eurozone crisis weakening of the euro. The dollar briefly weakened
in 2017 but strengthened in 2018 through 2020. That's hurt exports. Although
not as useful a statistic for determining solvency as the budget deficit or
surplus, international trade deficit or surplus is widely respected as an
indicator of credit-worthiness and is added to the budget deficit or surplus to
produce the current account balance. CBO The Budget and Economic Outlook
2020-2030 released in January 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic
reduced the total volume of international trade, admits increases in tariffs
reduce U.S. economic activity in three ways. First, they make consumer goods
and capital goods more expensive, thereby reducing the purchasing power of U.S.
consumers and Some of those tariffs apply to imports from nearly all U.S.
trading partners, including tariffs on washing machines, solar panels, U.S.
imports in 2017. Second, they increase businesses’ uncertainty about future
barriers to trade. Such uncertainty leads some U.S. businesses to delay or
forgo new investments or make costly adjustments to their supply chains. Third,
they prompt retaliatory tariffs by U.S. trading partners, which reduce U.S.
exports by making them more expensive for foreign purchasers. All of those
effects lower U.S. output. U.S. consumers and businesses replace certain
imported goods with goods produced in the United States, which offsets some of
that decline. In addition, tariff revenues, by reducing the deficit, increase the
resources available for private investment in later years. However,
skyrocketing total Customs revenues are widely suspected to be fraudulent and
are to be impounded aiming to eliminate language contrary to tariff reductions
or total customs revenues.

Census Bureau, 2019. Monthly US International Trade in Goods and Services. June
2020 Year-to-date, the goods and services deficit decreased -7.8 percent, from
the same period in 2019. Exports decreased -15.7 percent. Imports decreased
-14.2 percent.
4. In fiscal year 2020 it is estimated that there will be a -5 percent decline in individual income tax receipts, -18 percent decline in corporate income tax, -5 percent decline in (Medicare) on-budget social insurance, -7 percent decline in social security and unemployment contributions, a -50% decline in excise taxes due to the double whammy of -40 percent declines in fuel and airport receipts and reauthorization of the $1 per gallon Blenders Tax Credit (BTC) retroactive to 2018. A six percent decrease in other taxes is anticipated. In fiscal year 2021, and thereafter, provided the dollar is devaluated to prevent excessive withdrawal from the stock market, a six percent increase in all categories of revenues is expected from FY 2020 low. The cost of the BTC is expected to decline from $10 billion to $3 billion in 2021, providing an addition $7 billion to excise tax revenues in 2021. Closing the tax loophole for energy exports is estimated to provide an additional $6 billion in Customs receipts in 2021. It is hoped this credit will be exchanged for the more reasonable price of renewable fuel 24.4 cents per gallon excise tax exemption when it expires in 2022. Declining fuel taxes that are not indexed to increase with inflation, and repressed airport revenues, are expected to cause the Department of Transportation to decouple from the excise taxes, report total revenues and request the federal government to pay reasonable inflation of all costs, just like Customs to eliminate contempt of -3 percent annual Swiss Formula for Unilateral Tariff Reductions (2007). To create sustainable customs revenue growth and respond to demand from National Geographic and the United Nations, the United States must close the loophole on energy export tax by replacing 26USC§4612(b) – ‘In addition, there is imposed a flat 5% energy export tax (feet) by the UN Arrears and Certain Iranian Assets Bill of 2020.’ under 26USC§7201. To pay for a third of expiring pandemic compensation beneficiaries without depleting the neglected DI trust fund, it is fiscally necessary to close the OASDI tax loophole for the rich and state employees beginning as soon as October 1, 2020 and no later than January 1, 2021 to pay for COVID-19 disabled workers and create an SSI Trust Fund to end child poverty by 2024 and all poverty by 2030 by repealing the Adjustment to Contribution Base at Sec. 230 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§430. These measures are integral to the proposed Hydrocortisone, Eucalyptus, Lavender or Peppermint (HELP) Act of 2020.

5. Usual federal spending inflation is estimated to grow 2.5 percent for government, 3 percent for services, education, minimum wage, cost-of-living adjustment, 3.3 percent for food stamps, 4 percent for disability and child welfare and 5.5 percent for retirement annually. Any shortfall is due compensation for deprivation of relief under 18USC§246 pursuant to the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (The Gambia v. Myanmar) Summary 2020/1 23 January 2020 and Art. 14 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT)(1987). The experience of Trump budget cut threats is that compensation for domestic agencies ends up costing more than usual inflation and arrears to the UN are mounting. The Combined Statement overview of outlays is inadequate and outlays by agency must be entered from agency congressional budget requests and added up. As the result of neglecting to tabulate outlays, as they do for revenues, the Combined Statement totally fails to enable OMB to distinguish between budget authority and interagency transfers that must be excluded from the President's budget to eliminate OMBs 12 percent margin of error overestimating outlays. Government outlays are responsible only for administrative and loan guaranty costs. All other [interagency transfers] and lending costs are [privately financed] and should not have any incidental effects on the tabulation of governmental receipts or outlays under 2USC§661a(5)(A)(C). The new Combined Statement outlay and undistributed offsetting receipt overview table must outlaw fictitious, interagency transfer, lending, etc. unoriginal outlays from the budget request as they do for the revenue by source category. To sustain 3 percent growth in federal education outlays, exclude privately financed student lending operations from the budget request total and make the education budget rows historically consistent to facilitate auditing FY 22. To sustain 3 percent growth in federal outlays for Housing and Urban Development it is necessary to adopt a method of accounting overview that distinguishes the revenues and outlays of federal and private programs. To sustain 2.5 percent growth in public land agencies and 3 percent growth in Indian affairs outlays without trauma, it is necessary for the Interior Department to quantify and distribute their profit. For their part, the Combined Statement must agree to the definition of undistributed offsetting receipts often called advanced appropriations – unspent funds remaining at the end of year that are used to reduce the deficit and pay the first obligations of the new year – and rename the undistributed offsetting receipt revenue category “earnings on investments”. CBO must cross-examine the outlays by agency and undistributed offsetting receipts table pursuant to the HELP Act.

6. A fundamental
principle of the FY 21 budget is that persecutions regarding the number of the
beast, should not last more than 42 months (Revelation 13:10). Department of
Defense spending has been rapidly increasing 4.6 percent annually from $606
billion FY 17 to $718 billion FY 20 before declining to $705 billion FY 21
after which time normal three percent growth is anticipated. The prophecy
underlying the COVID-19 pandemic economic depression is mostly that Treasury
spending grew slowly from $602 billion FY 18 to $666 FY 20. Having concealed
the number of the beast in the addition of discretionary and mandatory funding,
they do not perform although the total is what is reported by OMB, Treasury
spending was not projected to grow fast enough without justifying a $1.5
trillion Relief Act FY 21 driving up Treasury spending to an estimated $2,183
billion FY 21 with a will to achieve $700 billion in outlays FY 22. There are
dozens of number of the beast settlements accelerating
growth to make the leap from numeral 6 to 7 in less 42 months, 3 ½ years. The
cost is negligible in comparison with the happiness it brings to do this curse
justice. The $66.6
billion FY 21 education discretionary budget cut request, from $72.87 billion
FY 20 is a crime of genocide that must be highly suspected as being causative
of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as representative of nationwide school
closures for which education institutions must receive full-funding. The
UN is burdened by an obese Secretary-General who has accursed the Peacekeeping
with budget cuts from $7.8 billion 2016-2017 to $6.5 billion 2019-2020 and not
published a budget for 2020-2021 in time for the June 30 fiscal year. Paying
arrears brings State Department spending from $55.9 FY 20 to $66.6 billion FY
21 and with this head start and normal 2.5 percent growth is expected to reach
$70 billion FY 23. Appropriation of hyper-inflationary Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) responsibilities to justify growth in excess of 3 percent
annually by the US Marshal and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is expressed
as a $6 billion budget for ICE aiming to abolish unwarranted deportation agency
within 42 months.

7. Customs fiscal year budget must report
total customs revenues and total customs outlays and the Customs shall deposit
all revenues in the Treasury who shall pay all Customs outlays. As of FY 21 the
Secret Service is to be transferred back to Treasury. To accurately account for
Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) supplementals is necessary
that the total Customs budget must be historically subtract the amount of FEMA
budget request, to produce total Federal Outlays for Customs. Customs must
defend the sources of their skyrocketing revenue and law enforcement outlay
declarations. Tariff increases since FY 17 and Customs revenue growth since FY
18 are excessive. Safeguard measure, such as tariff barriers imposed by the
Trump Administration, have been outlawed Swiss Formula on Unilateral Tariff
Reduction (2007) and must end after four years because they are unjustifiable
and incur retaliation under Arts. XII and XIX of the General Agreement on Trade
and Tariffs (1994). Title X of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control
Act of 1974 (ICA), that created the House and Senate Budget Committees and the
Congressional Budget Office, does not apply to budget authority proposed to be
rescinded under 2USC§684(c) because it is determined to be excessive under
31USC§1517(a)(2) and §1514(a)(2).
As an
industrialized nation United States tariffs must decrease by 3 percent, 0.97
annually pursuant to the Swiss Formula on Unilateral Tariff Reduction (2007).
To make amends for unlawful tariff increases between 2017 and 2020, it is
suggested that tariffs be reduced 0.97 annually since 2016. To accurately account for total customs revenues and
total customs outlays national accountants shall report total customs revenues and
total customs outlays and not attempt to reduce the outlay total with any
percentage of customs revenues. All Customs receipts shall be deposited into
the Treasury and the Treasury shall pay for all Customs outlays. The USDA FY 21
budget requested delinking Sec. 32 funds with Customs revenues. The Treasury
Office of Fiscal Services Combined Statement shall review the disturbing
language and Congress amend any statute justifying such unaccountable sharing
of Customs receipts with the General Fund. It is possible that Customs revenues might be
significantly higher if cost-sharing were outlawed and because this is the
right thing to do, the reason for the increase in Customs revenues may be that have
already started reporting total receipts. The withholding on wages of non-resident aliens under
26USC§1441 must be repealed. Customs may not count the tax withholdings of
non-resident aliens on trial or deported as customs revenues. Their social
security contributions count towards the full 40 quarters of contributions it takes
aliens to qualify for benefits. The March Treasury Statement ruled all taxes
assigned to individual income and payroll tax shall be completely immune from
customs duties pursuant to Sec. 207 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§407.
The increase in fees for visas must be repealed. Immigrants shall be granted a
social security number and employment authorization free of charge. Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) beneficiaries shall be sold a US Passport,
that indicates their citizenship of US or stateless, pursuant to common Arts.

Persons (1954).

8. The 2020 Annual Reports of the OASDI Trustees and
SSI Program did not take into consideration the low revenues and high costs of
the COVID-19 pandemic. The
responsibility to pay COVID-19 pandemic disabled workers and their families
looms large. Due to the dynamic changes
to revenues and expenditures as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all estimates
are extremely hypothetical and certain to be revised in the aftermath. The UN
has estimated a 10% decrease in the economy from the previous year, but it may
be worse. 32 million unemployment compensation beneficiaries constitute 18% of
the total workforce, significantly more than the 10% to 12% official
unemployment rate. The European Union has declared as much as a 30% economic
decline for a third the cost of the Relief Acts that have sustained retail
sales in the United States, but the payroll tax is certain to be devastated.
Due to the severity of the economic collapse -10% decline in payroll taxes from
2019 to 2020. Treasury Statements are
more optimistic and – 7 percent decline has been posited, but as mentioned the
final results are not in. Because the
objective is to tax the rich low revenue estimates, don’t hurt. The tax on the rich and state employees,
beginning January 1, 2021 can only afford to pay a third, 9 million benefits,
the intermediate cost, out of 32 million receiving pandemic compensation from
March 1 to July 31 the high cost is not affordable and therefore estimates are
not bothered with. There shall be no denying that being out of work due to the
COVID-19 pandemic is a disability. Congress must close the tax loophole for SSA
to afford to pay as many as a third of pandemic compensation claims and
slightly increase total SSI program spending from $62 billion in 2020 to $70
billion in 2021 (Revelation 13:10). It is assumed that the slight OASI
overestimate is right for once, the lion's share of the tax will go to the DI
Trust Fund to pay for COVID-19 pandemic disabled workers and their families,
the remainder, including prospective return to work of disabled workers after
the economy has recovered from COVID-19 pandemic, shall go to the new SSI Trust
Fund to end child poverty by 2024 with and all poverty by 2030.

Source: 2020 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old Age Survivor
Insurance Trust Fund and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, 2020 Annual Report
of the Supplement Security Income Program
9. The Board of Trustees owes the DI Trust Fund
an estimated $217 billion (2020) compensation, including 2.5% interest, owed by
the OASI Trust Fund as the result of the inability of the Board of Trustees to
adjust the OASDI tax rates to make reasonable accommodation for the high
incidence of disability of the Baby Boomers during the Great Recession
2009-2015 and in 2019 pursuant to Sec. 201(l) of the Social Security Act under
42USC§401(l). The 2.37% DI tax of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 helped the
DI Trust Fund recover an estimated $69 billion from $224 billion in economic
damages, plus 2.5% annual interest
to $240.4 billion, as if the OASDI tax rate had been adjusted right to
accommodate the age of high rate of disability of the Baby Boomer generation,
that nearly nearly depleted the fund 2009-2015,
reducing credit from this episode to $184.3 billion including interest through
2018. In 2018, its final year of operation, the 2.37% DI tax rate
incurred an unnecessary OASI deficit and should have been reduced to 2.04%
(2018) to better protect the OASI Trust Fund, reducing the DI Trust Fund from a
high of $95.2 billion to $71.9 billion at year end 2018, raising the money owed
the DI Trust Fund by $23.3 billion to $207.6 billion, wherefore this option is
available to Congress only if they tax the rich and state employees, and settle
on the right way to adjust the contribution base in a timely fashion. Because
it affects the undercapitalized DI Trust Fund the difference between the
alternative 1.9% and 1.8% DI tax rate in 2019 adds to $4 billion, to the
balance owed the DI Trust Fund - $211.6 billion, $216.9 billion with interest
in 2020. Provided, the tax rate adjustments and tax on the rich and state
employees contained in this 2020 Message of the Public Trustee are adopted the
OASI trust fund should not accumulate any more liability to the DI trust fund
due to overt discrimination against disability and covert threat to OASI trust
fund due to the evident inability of the Board of Trustees to adjust the tax
rates since 2000 as occurred in 2018. Provided, reasonable accommodation is
made for 4% disability spending growth, comprised of 1% population growth and
3% COLA, any positive asset accumulation of the DI Trust Fund balance shall be
credited towards the payment of this debt accumulating 2.5% interest annually. Congress is
highly advised to adjust the OASDI payroll tax rate to the full extent needed
to prevent a deficit in the highly depleted and inadequate DI Trust Fund by
amending Sec. 201(b)(1)&(2) of the Social Security
Act under 42USC§401(b)(1)(&(2). The OASI Trust Fund would receive credit on
paying back their welfare fraud loan to DI Trust Fund, with the difference
between the 1.8% and 2.06% low or 2.3% high cost COVID-19 pandemic projection
for 2020 pursuant to Sec. 201(l) of the Social Security Act under 42USC401(l).

10. SSA statistics are helpful, often the best provided by the United States, but they are problematic and there are a number of errors and omissions open to comment. The decline in covered workers due to the Great Recession and COVID-19 pandemic, the undercounting of the under-age 18 population conspiracy with the Census bureau destroying the population pyramid in 2014, significantly higher area population than Census Bureau, the habitual slight overestimate of current year and future OASI beneficiaries causing spending overestimates to be projected to long-term failure, inability to adjust the OASDI tax rates, outright discrimination against disability beneficiary population growth since 2013, and the historical revision of immigration statistics to imply the big deportation occurred in 2016 and lays down a new unlawfully reduced quota for lawful permanent residents. Customs does not maintain official immigration statistics and the Annual OASDI Trustees Report is the most reliable source of immigration statistics. The Census Bureau, in general, is no longer a reliable statistical source, mostly due the termination of the Annual Statistical Compendia program October 1, 2011, American Factfinder July 1, 2019 data.census.gov will be the primary source of all new Census Bureau data, including upcoming releases from the 2018 American Community Survey, 2017 Economic Census, 2020 Census and more. The Census does not annual maintain country by country US international trade statistics anymore, but is making a good faith effort to reconstitute them from monthly reports. There was an unexplained 2% difference between 324 million Census and 328 million, downwardly revised from 330 million, Social Security Administration total area population, that includes U.S. armed service members deployed overseas estimates for 2016. The difference in regards to the under-age 18 population is even larger, 5%, between 74.1 million and 77.8 million respectively in 2016. The hypocrisy is that SSA reports 74.9 million Baby Boomers were born 1946-64. The Census has clearly discriminated with the 22.9% under age 18 revision in 2015 that destroyed the population pyramid and must return to a number closer to the 24% under age 18 used in the 2010 Census after conducting the 2020 Census. 77.8 million under age 18 is 23.7% of the 328 million SSA area population in 2016. Excluding Trump who is probably too xenophobic to give people born in the United States of foreign parent’s citizenship, the birth rate tends to fluctuate above 4 million during Republican administrations and below 4 million during Democratic administrations, with a high birth rate in 2007. Having added up the 1998-2018 cohort births reported by SSA, the 2020 Annual Report is in error, and admits to be estimating from 2017, to report a decline to 84,477,000 under age 20 although total births for this cohort is 84,973,865 in 2018, the last year for which births can be added with readily available online SSA birth statistics. To resolve these issues it is essential that Congress reauthorize the US Census Bureau Annual Statistical Abstract and prohibit Hispanic ethnicity from dividing racial statistics.
