The Effect of the Aging of the Population on Spending on Medicare and Medicaid In coming decades the share of the population that is covered by Medicare will expand rapidly as members of the baby-boom generation become eligible for the program and the share that uses long-term care services financed by Medicaid will also probably increase. Although the aging of the population is frequently cited as a major factor contributing to the large projected increase in federal spending on those two programs it accounts for a modest fraction of the growth that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects. The main factor is excess cost growth—or the extent to which the increase in health care spending for an average individual exceeds the growth in per capita gross domestic product (GDP). As shown in the figure if the age distribution of the population were fixed—so that the average age did not increase over time—and there were no excess cost growth spending on Medicare and Medicaid as a share of GDP would remain essentially constant. That scenario is represented by the bottom line in the figure. The next line shows projected spending on Medicare and Medicaid if the age distribution of the population changes as expected—so that the average age of the population increases—but excess cost growth remains at zero. The difference between that line and the bottom line captures the effect of the aging of the population on projected federal spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The top line in the figure shows CBO’s projection of spending on those programs which includes the effects of the aging of the population and of excess cost growth. By itself aging accounts for about one-quarter of the projected growth in federal Medicare and Medicaid spending through 2030. By 2050 that share has fallen to under 20 percent and by 2082 to only about 10 percent. If revenues begin to fall and the budget deficit begins increasing we will hear that we need to cut taxes even more to solve the problem which I hope you realize is a silly suggestion and that we'll need to cut back on social programs - Medicare. Medicaid and Social Security in particular to reign in spending. But I hope these graphs make clear that Medicare and Medicaid are not the problem nor are demographics. I also hope that by now you are also well aware that the problems with Social Security which are minor can be fixed any number of ways none of which is prohibitively costly (or even nearly so). As the CBO report says. "The main factor is excess cost growth—or the extent to which the increase in health care spending for an average individual exceeds the growth in per capita gross domestic product (GDP)." If the deficit does begin to increase as expected don't be fooled by the misleading rhetoric that is sure to come from those who see it as an opportunity to push their ideology. "Socialsecuritymedicareandmedicaid" is not the main problem. Given the deficit is largely a result of war and the ability to wage war with an all 'volunteer' military. I'd like to propose a change in law that would limit enlistment contracts to two years or the time between elections. Any 'volunteer' could withdraw from service as the political winds shifted. In order to have true 'volunteers' a removal of all contracts of any length would have to be enforced. The current situation seems more like a draft. It would be a good thing to veiw the art of war as something you do once in a while not as a life time avocation. Truly. Ike was correct: "Every [weapon] signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed." - Dwight D. Eisenhower The US devotes 4% of GDP has risen from about 3% with Bush to continuous mobilization for fictitious enemies and deliver hugely expensive temporary reductions in violence in our newly occupied colonies. The American political system seems to operate as if spending on defense-related ventures doesn't come at a real cost. Propose a new domestic spending initiative and people want to hear about your offsets. If you don't have offsets you need new taxes. And you can't raise taxes. If you want to cut taxes you can probably get away with it but you'll face at least some political resistance. Defense spending though doesn't count -- it's completely shielded from scrutiny and we think nothing of tossing $10 billion here and $10 billion there until the end of time.... Always there is the deceiving case made against social programs that are fundamental rights then the question "what now?" which is meant to be answered that we destroy rights. We could of course simply deny all health care to anyone over 65 or we could try to understand why the French are content to allow life over 65. There cost be an immediate ample saving for Medicare by simply ending subsidies to private insurers to compete with general Medicare and by allowing a program board to negotiate drug prices. Keeping adults healthier as they age by providing insurance makes for healthier Medicare recipients as research has just found and as makes sense. 1 is partly true. Since at the same time doubling SSFICA and doubling SS spending would resuly in a slight improvement of the fiscal imbalance you may well increase spending and increase revenue and still end up with an improvement. Also since there is no SS imbalance. I feel it should not be part of this calculation. Before calculating (S + N) - (T + N). I will always remove the Ns and do S-T. 2 is true. It would be useful though to note that your (I'm not American ;-) ) projected imbalance is equal to your Government imbalance. The SS imbalance is equal to zero. 3 is not true by some distance. Since a redistributive program would become a spending program the payroll tax would be removed from the disposable (and taxable) income (whereas it was previously just being stirred within) thereby reducing for example. VAT revenues. SS being the ultimate Keynesian program (almost everything is spent and spent locally) the reduction in revenue would be a very high proportion -probably over 50%- of the reduction in spending. To make up for this you would need to raise other taxes. It could then be revenue neutral but still a net increase in taxes: people would pay a higher proportion of their income in taxes. Besides. SSFICA is a tax in name only. In effect it is a compulsory purchase of Government bonds with on average a zero actuarial value in the exchange (a propriety that comes from solvency). It would make no fiscal difference if SS were run by an NGO which is why it is best analysed seperately from the Government fiscal balance. To divert some of SSFICA into a spending is therefore an increase in taxes -people are forced from a actuarially neutral exchange into a negative exchange with the Government. "4. # 3 involves no net tax increase whether it factors in dynamic effects and it's revenue-neutrality is determined that way or if it is designed to be revenue-neutral in a static sense and it's revenue-neutrality is determined THAT way (i e. same overall taxation as percent of overall income). " Now. I don't pretend to understand that. What is the initial situation and what is the envisaged later one? You seem to have a problem with what is tax neutrality: "Now as I've said before here perhaps your entire point is simply that if projected revenues are unchanged but GDP will be lower by the lesser amount that SS recipients would receive thus increasing overall revenues as a percent of GDP. Is that your whole point?? If so that's true but the revenue-neutrality in my scenario could just as easily be accomplished in terms of revenues as a percent of GDP instead of in absolute terms (just by combining the shift in payroll taxes to general funds with enough of a cut in tax rates to produce that result)." Well at some point you must decide what you keep constant. My equations were relevant to the neutrality you were talking about so far (revenue neutrality) -I can't speak in generalities and still make a demonstration. So the hypothesis must be set. The initial situation is that you collect T (taxes) and redistribute SSFICA from SSI (income from SS) + AOI (All other income). Now on the population as a whole in the long run SSS = SSFICA. It's not a net tax. If you give me a one dollar note and I give you 4 quarters neither of us took anything away from the other. For the population as a whole that's what SS does. Let's take another virtual example. You have a society where everyone is making 100$. On top of that you have a bizarre government that takes 100$ from everyone and also gives 100$ to everyone. The net tax is zero not 100% not 50%. If the next day the Government started collecting 100$ and not giving anything (same revenues) or collecting 50$ and not giving anything (same % of GDP) that would be a net tax increase. So your initial net tax rate is T/AOI. You then suggest reducing SS spending by X but diverting SSFICA. Income therefore becomes AOI + SSI - X. SSFICA becomes SSFICA - X so net income is unchanged. But you now collect T + Y (not necessarily X since you may want to change other taxes) in other taxes. So the tax rate becomes (T+Y)/I. The only way to keep that constant is to have Y = 0. Now. I know you want to count everything in one go but the thing is the combination of the law and SS solvency forces you to do otherwise. So if you want to reduce SSSpending you must first reduce SSFICA (if SS were not solvent you could reduce SSS without reducing SSFICA -one of the reasons why it IS relevant in policy). Let's call the package policy A. Then to get back to one kind of neutrality on your aggregate of SS revenue and Government taxes you need at the same time to increase some taxes. Let's call that policy B. Now it so happens that the overall improvement on the fiscal imbalance of A+B is less than what you'd get if you were to do just B. So claiming as you did in one of your earliest posts (and which to me was your initial point) that reducing SS spending could be part of improving the fiscal imbalance is not correct -or rather it can be part of something that does improve the imbalance but its effect will be to reduce the improvement. With regard to whether it's relevant well as we saw one reason why reducing SSS requires reducing SSFICA as well is precisely that it is solvent. Another reason (given by Arne. I think) was that when you have precisely ONE fully redistributive program that happens to be solvent it is not good policy to start by changing that. Another of Arne's reasons was that if as many people think is crucial you want to keep a dedicated funding for SS it is important to make it solvent. As for the combination of features you demand well someone like Bruce Webb has them in abundance and then some. In particular not one person here (and maybe not one person in the world) has a similar level of attention. Gee Winslow and Ilsm why don't you just disband the entire military until the time "when it's really needed". The military works far better as a volunteer force. Imagine if people like you were drafted. Our forces would collapse from the dissent and outright sabotage from within. We would rather face two enemy soldiers than one of you from within. That's why we have a volunteer military to keep people like you out. The reason why you believe there are "fictitious enemies" is because they do such a good job that enemies don't want to engage them directly. That allows you walk around pretending there are no enemies the occasional 9-11 not withstanding. Anne of course defense spending is completely shielded from cuts we're fighting a war on two fronts in case you haven't heard! And why haven't you been affected at all? Why does the war seem like mere fiction from a crude badly written book to you? It's because of the military spending! Our military is so powerful that you are completely shielded from any harm but take that away and you could be living in Berlin or Tokyo circa 1944-1945. Perhaps an exaggeration but isn't it better for you to be shielded from harm able to roam freely and do whatever it is you do while our enemies have to live in caves worried about a bomb falling on their heads every time they venture out? No the military budget can't be cut at this time. As for Medicare. I'm going to ask someone I know who is a medical student and has doctors in his family about cutting the fees paid to doctors for their services. I have a good idea of the answer fees are already cut to the bone. The solution is to change how the system works to reduce the number of scans and tests they currently have to do because there could be a slight chance of detecting something unlikely. But if they don't do every scan or test they could be sued and lose everything in that 1 in 500,000 case. The first thing the lawyer will ask is if that disease or problem could have been spotted with some test of course the answer would be yes. Then the lawyer will lay blame and say that the doctor was negligent for not proscribing that test even though 499,999 times that test would be unnecessary. If people want to be absolutely certain then they could pay for additional tests themselves. That's the real way to cut medicare spending. Heritage funded by taxpayers through Boeing and other corporations? In case you don't understand. Boeing doesn't collect taxes. I've never had to file a return with Boeing. Cyrille your statement that if the government taxes $100 and then redistributes $100 the net tax is zero. That is wrong. The government always spends what it takes in but that doesn't mean taxes are zero or even negative when it spends more and runs a deficit. What we have to ask is if the $100 is being spent wisely and in a better way than leaving the $100 to be spent by individuals. In most cases. $100 spent by individuals who know and understand their own needs the most would benefit them more than having some bureaucrat spend $100 on their behalf. It is harmful for the government to redistribute income beyond a basic safety net that allows those incapable to live in relative poverty. Remember our relative poverty is upper middle class when compared to the rest of the world food is abundant and the type of shelter for the poor would be considered luxurious elsewhere. Most people around the world have to live with their extended families in a single house or hut. Beyond that automatic redistribution eliminates the incentive to be one of those evil taxpayers and creates incentive to be one of those noble poor receiving money. Do the same in any class tell the A students that they will have to give up a percentage of their grade to the worst students and see if they spend the same effort studying. You will find that overall scores and grades fall with this type of redistribution everyone becomes less educated. Same with the economy everyone becomes poorer when you have excessive redistribution.

“I believe that any wolf on any given night if there happens to be a calf there they ordain kill it,” Petrich said. “In reality to help us now we need to be trapping them shooting them - as many as possible.” Just 12 years since the wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park after years of near-extinction federal officials say the sharp rise in the wolf population in the region justifies removing them from the endangered species however say the U. S. look for and Wildlife Service is moving too fast and could be setting the re-create for a slaughter that would displace wolves back to the brink in the Rockies. For cattle ranchers like Petrich in the Paradise Valley north of Yellowstone already have the right to kill predators threatening their have the killing of wolves who established new territories outside the park has already begun. Seven times in the last five years. Petrich a third-generation rancher has shot a wolf for killing or harassing cattle. It took $24 million of federal funds and more than two decades to bring wolves approve from near-extinction in the northern Rocky Mountains - the result of a government eradication program in the mid-1900s that included widespread poisoning of wolves. After years of debate an initial 66 wolves were transplanted into the park from Canada beginning in 1995. Now an estimated 1,545 roam Idaho. Montana and Wyoming - more than enough federal official say to justify removing them from the endangered species list. “The more of something you have the less valuable each individual piece becomes,” said Ed Bangs the look for and Wildlife function’s wolf recovery project leader. “If you have more wolves than you have now it’s really going to start causing a lot of problems.” “This is all about eat killing,” said Doug Honnold an attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice. “This approach of managing wolves to the knife-edge where they say the population would be at risk of extinction is simply crazy.” In recent years as the wolf population re-established itself the number of cattle sheep and other domestic animals killed by wolves has soared from 123 in 2000 to 330 this year through early October. The be of wolves killed in response - by ranchers and federal wildlife agents acting on their behalf - increased sevenfold in the same period from 20 to 146.

July 16. 2007 Journal EntryI’m amazed at the ability of the Zambians to be circumscribe with what they undergo which is usually next to nothing. This is demonstrated in a common conclusion of their prayers when they say “we have so many things to ask for but these things we leave in thy hands in the name of Jesus Christ.” Alma teaches the same principle in Alma 29 when he learns that we should be circumscribe with what God has given us. The populate’s faith in God here is often amazing. They sing of him often. Just this morning while eating breakfast the four women that ran the lie desk at our little motel (if you can call it that) sang a few beautiful songs for us most of which had to do with God’s love and cater and ability to deliver us. It’s truly inspiring to see their faith demonstrated through song. This pass I had the opportunity to go on a to Zambia. Africa. What I witnessed was nothing bunco of a miracle in my mind: a destitute people lucky to have one meal a day and owning little more than what you could displace in a hike. Poor living conditions meager access to water and a 94% unemployment evaluate. And yet despite their struggles and temporal setbacks these populate showed me what an “attitude of gratitude” is. One might find it easy to be grateful when in the possession of a nice home new car an iPod and other luxuries… but how does one cultivate gratitude when living in poverty? What I learned over the course of my three weeks in Africa was that not only is it possible it is powerful. Their demonstration of gratitude was genuine and pervasive. Whereas my gratitude had always been based on an appreciation for material possessions theirs was based on the truly important things in life: family community love daily sustenance and the enable of life. This genuine gratitude was manifested among other ways in devout verbal expressions of love for God. In my mind my Zambian brothers and sisters were epitomizing the discuss Amulek gave in when he counseled us to “be in thanksgiving daily for the many mercies and blessings which [God] doth bestow upon you.” Many mercies and blessings. I learned does not consider to material possessions and temporal comfort. To properly understand how gratitude is manifested in our lives we must understand the word itself. A wonderful resource for the meaning of words especially those we sight in our canon of scripture is Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary. Webster offered the following definition for gratitude: An emotion of the heart excited by a favor or benefit received; a sentiment of kindness or good ordain towards a benefactor; thankfulness. Gratitude is an agreeable emotion consisting in or accompanied with good will to a benefactor and a disposition to make a suitable go of benefits or services or when no go can be made with a desire to see the benefactor prosperous and happy. Gratitude is a virtue of the highest excellence as it implies a feeling and generous heart and a proper sense of duty. Sadly the definition open in the descendant dictionary that of Merriam-Webster merely defines gratitude as: The latter definition being pretty watered drink falls short of thoroughly indicating how one might fully express gratitude. The Roman statesman Cicero agreed with Webster’s definition of gratitude being a “virtue of the highest excellence” when he once said that “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all the others.” Living where we do each of us shares a bounty of blessings that puts us in the minority when compared to our brothers and sisters throughout the world. So to truly be grateful for what we have. I accept it to be important to understand how fortunate we are compared to those who have not. Water: 1/6 of the world’s population (1.1 billion) has inadequate find to water and 1/3 of the world’s population (2.6 billion) lack basic sanitation. find to piped wet into the household averages about 85% for the wealthiest 20% of the population compared with 25% for the poorest 20%.(2006 United Nations Human Development Report pp.6. 7. 35) Food: Approximately 12% (790 million) of populate in the world are comfort chronically undernourished almost two-thirds of whom dwell in Asia and the Pacific. (World Resources initiate Pilot Analysis of Global Ecosystems. February 2001) Liberty: Hundreds of millions of populate have died under oppressive fascist and communist regimes in recent decades. Currently more 1/6 of the world (1.4 billion) lives under communist command. Many others be in countries ruled by military dictatorships or religious regimes. (CIA World Factbook) Home: An estimated 3.5 million people living in developed countries are homeless. This is roughly equivalent to the population of Utah and Idaho combined. And while it’s hard to come change state to determining some estimate there are over one billion homeless persons in third world countries which is roughly 1/6 of the world’s population. A quick trip to Africa leads one to see how realistic this number is. (. ) Family: More than 36 million children under 15 are orphaned in Sub-Saharan Africa today. That’s equivalent to the entire population of California. Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned as a result of AIDS. It is feared that there may be more than 80 million orphans in India and Asia.() Employment: One estimate states that 30% of populate throughout the world are unemployed. This add up is lower due to the low rates found in developed countries whereas many developing nations such as those in Sub-Saharan Africa have an unemployment rate of 75% or higher.() Gospel: There are currently around 13 million members of the Church with an estimated activity rate of 35%. That means there are around 4.5 million active members. In a world with an estimated current population of 6.6 billion we who undergo and follow the gospel account for less than 1/14 of 1 percent of the world’s population. (. ) Clearly we who are sitting here today have much to be grateful for. Being in such a blessed minority does not make us exceed than those who undergo not. The ennoble instructs us in that “unto whom much is given much is required”. Gratitude for these blessings is one of many things required of us. I believe that one of the greatest sins of which the inhabitants of the earth are guilty today is the sin of ingratitude the want of acknowledgment on their part of God and his right to govern and control. We see a man raised up with extraordinary gifts or with great intelligence and he is instrumental in developing some great principle. He and the world evaluate this great genius and wisdom to himself. He attributes his success to his own energies fight and mental capacity. He does not acknowledge the transfer of God in anything connected with his success but ignores him altogether and takes the honor to himself; this ordain bear on to almost all the world. In all great modern discoveries in science in the arts in mechanics and in all the material advancement of our age the world says. ‘We undergo done it.’ The individual says. ‘I undergo done it,’ and he gives no recognise and credit to God. Now. I read in the revelations through Joseph Smith the prophet that because of this. God is not pleased with the inhabitants of the hide but is angry with them because they will not acknowledge his hand in all things. (Joseph F. Smith Gospel Doctrine pp. 270–71) Our society is afflicted by a animate of thoughtless.

SANTO DOMINGO.- The Dominican community in the United States grew 7.4 percent from 2005 to 2006 going from 1,347,210 to 1,454,987 Dominicans said the non-government organization Quisqueya Foundation. Frank Valenzuela and Héctor Frias the organization’s President and Executive Director said the figures are from projections based on the U. S. count Bureau’s annual American Community Survey. The Quisqueya Foundation’s estimates based on the U. S. 2000 count and figures provided by Ramona Hernandez. Director of the Dominican Studies initiate in City University of New York (CUNY) show the Dominican population grew by 413,077 going from 1,041,910 Dominicans in 2000 to 1,454,987 in 2006.

As Dr. Sai points out the effects of underdevelopment and poverty touch women in dramatic ways and quite often all the pressures to which they are exposed lead to precarious emotional health.

We as advocates of sexual and reproductive rights must also consider the psychological and emotional implications of sexuality and reproduction and learn to broach with them in our clinics and services.• • We must address understand and act tighten positions regarding study ethical issues in sexual and reproductive health.
