Not a single resolution was

US House of Representatives approves
plan to destroy Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps
By Patrick Martin
30 March 2012
30 March 2012
The
US House of Representatives has adopted a budget resolution that calls for
privatization of Medicare and the elimination of Medicaid, food stamps and many
other federal entitlement benefits. The resolution is part of a bipartisan
campaign to slash spending on social programs.
All
but ten of the Republican majority in the House backed the resolution—and those
ten wanted even bigger cuts. All Democrats voted against the resolution, while
offering their own proposals that called for somewhat less drastic cuts in
spending and token tax increases on the wealthy.
Not a single resolution was
offered that called for increasing spending to meet social needs as the
American economy staggers through a fifth year of economic slump and mass
unemployment.
The
budget was drafted by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin,
who last year offered the first-ever proposal for the complete abolition of
Medicare. It passed the House but not the Senate.
This
year’s resolution was even more sweeping and reactionary. It calls for $5.3
trillion in spending cuts over the next decade. Part of the savings would be
used to reduce the federal deficit, but the bulk of them would go to reward the
wealthy with new tax breaks, including abolition of the estate tax and the Alternative
Minimum Tax, making the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy permanent, and lowering
the top income tax rate from the present 35 percent to 25 percent.
The major spending cuts in
the budget resolution are focused on programs for the poor and the lower-paid
sections of the working class. According to a study by the Center on Budget and
Policy Priorities, 62 percent of the $5.3 trillion in spending cuts come from
“programs that serve people of limited means.” If implemented, the cuts would
drastically increase income inequality and poverty.
The
CBPP analysis found the budget provides for $800 billion in cuts for Medicaid,
$1.6 trillion from repealing the expansion of Medicaid and subsidies for low-
and moderate-income people, $134 billion in cuts from food stamps, and $463
billion from other programs for low-income individuals and families, including
an estimated $166 billion from Pell Grants for low-income college students.
According
to other accounts, the budget would cut 200,000 children from Head Start, deny
food stamps or WIC food commodities to 1.8 million infants, children and
pregnant or nursing women, cut transportation financing by up to $50 billion,
and cut unspecified billions from federal employee pensions.
The
resolution proposes to turn back the clock on federal programs by more than
half a century, capping federal spending at 19 percent of gross domestic
product, about the level that prevailed in the 1950s, before the establishment
of Medicare and other social welfare programs adopted under the Johnson
administration.
In
order to accomplish this goal, the age of eligibility for Medicare would be
raised from 65 to 67, and end Medicare as a federal entitlement for all those
now younger than 55. Anyone who turns 65 after 2023 would be relegated to buying
private health insurance with a government grant that would be capped, shifting
costs to the individual.
Unlike
last year, however, Ryan modified his Medicare plan slightly to obtain a
Democratic co-sponsor, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon. The Ryan-Wyden plan would
give those under 55 the option to stay with traditional Medicare, but only
under financing options that would make the federal program unviable.
As Washington
Post columnist Ezra Klein noted, the Ryan plan establishes the identical
mechanism for the elderly to purchase private insurance—state-run insurance
exchanges—that the Obama administration has made the center of its healthcare
reform program. Obama proposed this method to cut the cost of healthcare for
the government and corporate employers. Ryan proposes the same means to cut the
cost of providing healthcare for the elderly.
The
other significant feature of the Ryan budget resolution is that it reneges on
the agreement reached last August between the Obama administration and
congressional Republicans, setting spending levels for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal
years. The White House embraced significant cuts in discretionary spending in
return for an increase in the federal debt ceiling. This raises the prospect of
a new legislative deadlock over the adoption of appropriations bills for fiscal
year 2013, and a partial shutdown of the federal government October 1, on the
eve of the presidential and congressional elections.
The
Obama White House mildly criticized the Ryan budget plan in language that all
but begged for an agreement. Senior Obama adviser David Plouffe, appearing on
multiple television talk shows last Sunday, reiterated the claim that the
Republican resolution “fails the test of balance and fairness and shared
responsibility.”
Adding
just a touch of populist demagogy, Plouffe continued, “It showers huge
additional tax cuts on the wealthy that are paid for by veterans and seniors
and the middle class.”
None
of the competing budget resolutions debated and voted on by the House Wednesday
and Thursday, however, provided any serious alternative.
A
proposal based on the Obama administration’s own budget numbers, offered by
Republican Congressman Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina in order to ridicule it,
was voted down by 414 to zero, without a single Democratic vote.
Three
measures offered by various factions of the Democratic Party were all voted
down—the Black Caucus budget was defeated 107-314, the Progressive Caucus
budget 78-346, and a Democratic leadership budget 163-262.
Significantly,
all of these budget resolutions adhered to the spending levels set last August
in the bipartisan White House deal. In other words, the Democrats, even in
their most liberal guise, accepted the budget cuts endorsed by Obama last year.
The
House also defeated, by a vote of 136-285, an alternative to the Ryan budget
resolution with even greater cuts, proposed by the Republican Study Group, a
caucus of ultra-right and Tea Party members.
One
other budget resolution was voted on, and despite its lopsided defeat, the
measure was politically significant. A bipartisan group of right-wing Democrats
and moderate Republicans proposed a budget plan based on the report of the
Simpson-Bowles commission, which Obama appointed to devise a deficit-reduction
program.
The
resolution was overwhelmingly defeated, by 38 to 382, because few Republicans
would vote for a resolution calling for tax increases on the wealthy, and few
Democrats wanted to publicly support sizeable cuts in Medicare and Social
Security in a bill that was certain to be defeated.
Nonetheless,
the bipartisan measure indicated where a deal is to be had once the charade of
the November elections is completed. Whatever the configuration of the two
parties, in terms of control of the White House, Senate or House of
Representatives, there will be a bipartisan deal to slash spending on the poor
and working class, while preserving, with only token changes, the enormous tax
boondoggles for the wealthy.
This
will be presented to the American people, either by President Obama or his
Republican successor, as a measure providing “equal sacrifice” or “shared
responsibility” for the fiscal crisis of the federal government.

Opinion
California must stem the flow of illegal immigrants
The state should go after employers who hire them, curb taxpayer-funded benefits, deploy the National Guard to help the feds at the border and penalize 'sanctuary' cities.
Illegal immigration is another matter entirely. With the state budget in tatters, millions of residents out of work and a state prison system strained by massive overcrowding, California simply cannot continue to ignore the strain that illegal immigration puts on our budget and economy. Illegal aliens cost taxpayers in our state billions of dollars each year. As economist Philip J. Romero concluded in a 2007 study, "illegal immigrants impose a 'tax' on legal California residents in the tens of billions of dollars."
US tax data shows falling wages, rising inequality
By Andre Damon and Tom Eley
6 November 2010
6 November 2010
Average
annual wages for US workers fell by $457 in 2009 and the median annual wage
fell by $247 to $26,261, according to recently updated data from the Social
Security Administration (SSA).
Meanwhile,
the incomes of the top-earning corporate executives barely budged in 2009. The
pay of the handful of individuals making over $50 million fell by about 7
percent 2009, despite the fact that stocks fell in value by 40 percent,
demolishing the claim that executive bonuses are tied to corporate
“performance.”
Last
year, in the midst of 10 percent unemployment, a relative handful of Americans
lived as royalty. In 2009 there were 3,689 individuals who made between $5
million and $10 million, and 1,618 who made $10 million or more, including 425
who made $20 million, and 72 who brought in $50 million or more
These
5,307 tax filers, equivalent to the population of a small town, together took
home about $57.62 billion in 2009, about $8 billion more than the bottom 24 million
households filing taxes, and a staggering 10 percent of all income earned in
the US.
Behind
this financial aristocracy are another 72,000 or so individuals and households
that reported income of more than $1 million in 2009, and then another
1,611,000 who took home more than $200,000. These top three categories, only
1.7 million tax filers—the top 0.8 percent of those reporting income—cornered
about 27 percent of all income, more than combined income of the bottom 100
million or so households, those making less than $40,000.
If
anything, this portrait underestimates social inequality in the US, as the data
addresses only earnings, and not accumulated wealth.
The
sharp decline in wages in 2009 marks an intensification of a longer-term trend
of growing social inequality. Adjusted for inflation, the median income in 2009
was $167 less than it was in 2001. The same nine years has been a bonanza for
the extremely wealthy. In 1990, there were 739 people making over $5 million
per year. By 2009 that figure had increased more than sevenfold, to 5,307.
The
SSA data corroborates a recent study by economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel
Saez, which found that two thirds of the total national increase in personal
income between 2002 and 2007 went to the wealthiest 1 percent of society.
Significantly,
the SSA data suggests that the official unemployment rate, currently at 9.6
percent, grossly underestimates joblessness. Between 2008 and 2009 the total
number of wage earners fell by 4.5 million, from 155,434,562 to 150,917,733.
But for the same period the Labor Department counted 2.6 million job losses.
The
figures were first reported by David Cay Johnston, the Pulitzer Prize-winning
former New York Times writer, on tax.com, the website of the
nonprofit group Tax Analysts. Commenting on the data, Johnston pointed out the
connection between the vast growth of social inequality over the past several
years and policies that directly favor the wealthy. In previous writings,
Johnston has pointed to the clear connection between the precipitous drop in
the effective tax rate for the wealthiest 400 US families, and the concurrent
tripling of their wealth between 1994 and 2007.
Last
year’s sharp fall in wages is the outcome of an ongoing campaign of
restructuring and wage-cutting by US corporations, which dumped millions of
workers from their payrolls while forcing those remaining to work harder for
less. The Obama administration spearheaded this drive with the forced
bankruptcy and restructuring of General Motors and Chrysler, which included a
50 percent wage cut for newly hired auto workers.
The
trend continues. The Bureau of Labor Statistics this week reported that worker
productivity surged in the second quarter, even as labor costs continued to
decline.

“THE AMNESTY ALONE WILL BE THE
LARGEST EXPANSION OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM IN THE LAST 25 YEARS”…. Heritage Foundation
"The amnesty alone will be the largest expansion of
the welfare system in the last 25 years," says Robert Rector, a senior
analyst at the Heritage Foundation, and a witness at a House Judiciary
Committee field hearing in San Diego Aug. 2. "Welfare costs will begin to
hit their peak around 2021, because there are delays in citizenship. The very
narrow time horizon [the CBO is] using is misleading," he adds. "If
even a small fraction of those who come into the country stay and get on
Medicaid, you're looking at costs of $20 billion or $30 billion per year."

U.S. Taxpayers Spend $113 Billion Annually on Illegal Aliens
|

America has
never been able to afford the costs of illegal immigration. With rising
unemployment and skyrocketing deficits, federal and state lawmakers are now
facing the results of failed policies. A new, groundbreaking report from
FAIR, The Fiscal
Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers, takes a comprehensive
look at the estimated fiscal costs resulting from federal, state and local
expenditures on illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children.
Expanding
upon the series of state studies done in the past, FAIR has estimated the
annual cost of illegal immigration to be $113 billion, with much of the cost
— $84.2 billon — coming at the state and local level.

THE DILEMMA WITH THE MEXICAN INVASION IS THAT MEXICANS LOATHE
LITERACY, AND LOATHE ENGLISH! THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH A SECOND
GRADE READING ABILITY!
The
most insightful study remains one done by the National Research
Council in 1997.
It gauged federal, state and local fiscal costs and contributions over the
lifetime of an immigrant in 1996 dollars. Citizen children were included.
The
study found that an immigrant high school dropout -- which characterizes nearly
half of today's unauthorized people -- received $89,000 more in services than
he paid in taxes in his life. But an immigrant with at least some college -- a
quarter of today's unauthorized -- gave $105,000 more than he got. For the high
school graduates left, those who arrived during their teens or earlier were
slightly profitable for the government, while the children of those who arrived
later paid off the small deficit of their parents.
STAGGERING COST OF ILLEGALS ALIENS IN AMERICA
Aliens In America
Taxpayers Taken To The Cleaners
By Frosty Wooldridge
4-10-8
Illegal alien migration into the United States costs American taxpayers $346 billion annually reported by the National Research Council. While employers of illegal aliens rake-in billions of dollars, the US citizens subsidize what may be called organized "Slavery in 21st Century America."
While Congress facilitates outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring of American jobs by the thousands weekly, that same Congress imports 182,000 legal immigrant monthly who need jobs. Another estimated 100,000 illegal aliens arrive each month without jobs. All those immigrants seize jobs from American citizens at slave wages.
What happens to the American taxpayer?
"Immigrants are poorer, pay less tax, and are more likely to receive public benefits than American citizens," said Edwin Rubenstein, reporting on the National Research Council's new book: "The New Americans: Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration."
