Does time in the US Navy count as retirement time when getting a federal civilian job? Hi all! I'm thinking about joining the US Navy for four years but I want to know about something for sure before I join. Does time in the US Navy count as retirement time when getting a federal civilian job? How does the service time get converted over into a federal civilian job? In other words, if I spend four years in the Navy, does that mean all I have to do is work 16 years in a federal job to draw a 20 year pension and get other retirement benefits? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How do I prove I am a US citizen? I was born in the Philippines, came to the US when I was six months old. My step-father was in the Marines, my mother is Filipina.

My mother gave me a Naturalization Certificate when I turned 18, I have no idea where it is now. Can I get a certified copy of it? And how long would it take to receive it?
How much longer can the US survive?

How should I list race on job applications? My heritage is mixed cuacasian and Native American. I meet the basic requirements of a government recognized tribe in terms of % of native blood. When the US federal government attempted (decades ago) to catalog the Native American population in the area where my family lived they basically hid the fact that they were natives. Because of that, I cannot prove my heritage to the tribe. I am curious if I should mark Native American on job applications. I mean, it is my heritage, but I am not a member of a tribe. And then, I have a few Native physical traits, but most people simply think that I am white. Do you think tribal membership is that important? I guess I am considering that people who are mixed white/asian and white/african-american do not belong to any sort of formal organization. For them, having some white ancestors doesn't necessarially make them white, right? What do you think? What would you do?
Question about federal jobs for retired officers? A friend of mine told me that he cannot work in a federal job without having to accept a cut on his US Army retirement check. He retired as an officer. Is that true? And would he get his retirement check back after he retires completely? Or does anybody know where I can find out?
In regard to the answers about living & working in Italy, can anyone post the federal job sites and OCM site? What exactly is OCM and what are some of the urls for the Federal job sites. Living and working in Italy is extremely important to me because all of my family are there and I am alone here in the US so I want to be near them.
What do You think about the Federal Reserve Controlling Interest Rates&keeping Millions in the US Unemployed? By raising and lowering interest rates, the Fed can control unemployment. They even go as far as keeping millions of Americans out of work in order to stem off inflation. This tactic is also used to keep downward pressure on wages. If too many Americans have jobs, there will be too much pressure on employers to raise wages and offer more benefits. If they didn't then their employees would most likely just find work elsewhere if they didn't feel as though they were being fairly compensated. To date, no economist has been able to come up with another way to stem the tide of inflation. But does that make it right? When interest rates are higher, there's less economic activity, no one buys cars or houses and businesses hire less. But the jobs are low wage jobs, so it's not the doctors, lawyers, and CEO's who are getting hurt, it's the janitors, dish washers, cashiers, etc. who feel the squeeze. Any thoughts If you're interested in finding out more, please read "The Conservative Nanny State: How the Rich Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer" Or visit Http://www.ConservativeNannyState.org The Unemployment rate in the US is actually higher than the reported 4.5-5%. Those numbers are only compiled every few weeks. The TRUTH is that the US unemployment rate does NOT include those who have never applied for unemployment benefits, nor does it include those whose benefits have run out either. I am by no means an economic expert, however, I understand that when interest rates are high, the economy slows and when they're low it picks up. Look at the people who are making the money, stockholders as you said. But how many people own stock and at what expense are they making money? At the expense of keeping millions of Americans unemployed and living in poverty. Jeepers Peepers could not be MORE WRONG! The US unemployment rate DOES NOT COUNT those whose benefits have run out or those who have never applied for unemployment benefits. I have an email from the US Department of Labor and would be happy to send it to anyone who is interested in the TRUTH!

Why do some believe that every problem is caused by a wrong action or inaction of the federal Government? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57092 Read the transcript of the AFL-CIO debate and you'll find that Democratic leaders squarely place responsibility for almost every calamity in America – whether caused by natural forces, human negligence or imperfection, or even excess government intermeddling in the first place – on the federal government or evil corporations. This is scary stuff. Hillary Clinton exploited the Minneapolis bridge collapse to tell us we need the federal government to invest in infrastructure – "to protect us" and to "create jobs." How would she improve the recovery in New Orleans? Simple, "The first thing I would do is put somebody in charge who actually cared about the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast," as if Republicans don't care and as if caring is all that matters – vintage liberalism. John Edwards agreed on Minneapolis and also seemed to blame the Utah mining accident on the federal government. To Edwards, these disasters are not only the fault of the federal government, but of insider, lobby-driven Beltway politics ignoring the needs of "working men and women." But Edwards outdid himself when he suggested that 51-year-old James Lowe's speech-impairing cleft palate is the fault of the federal government in failing to provide sufficient health care and the evil "drug companies and insurance companies." Barack Obama complained that employers are exploiting "undocumented workers." That's right, he said the illegals aren't being paid enough or receiving enough benefits. Joe Biden said the government ought to give us "100,000 new nurses." Oh, boy. When the candidates were not promoting a paternalistic government or demonizing corporations, they were either telling tall tales about taxes and deficits or waxing recklessly about the Iraq War and the Global War on Terror (GWOT).

Are the immigrant taking jobs from US citizens or US citizen are not qualify to fullfill those jobs? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070307/ap_on_go_co/congress_bill_gates WASHINGTON - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates told Congress on Wednesday that overhauls of the nation's schools and immigration laws are urgently needed to keep jobs from going overseas. "The U.S. cannot maintain its economic leadership unless our work force consists of people who have the knowledge and skills needed to drive innovation," Gates told the Senate committee that oversees labor and education issues. Gates, whose charitable foundation has given away more than $3 billion since 1999 for educational programs and scholarships, noted that about 30 percent of U.S. ninth-graders fail to graduate on time. "As a nation, we should start with this goal: Every child in the United States graduating from high school," he said. Gates also challenged lawmakers to push for higher educational standards and to make more challenging coursework available to students. A federal study released last month showed about a third of high schoolers fail to take a

'Guest worker' plan assailed GOP legislators rip idea to open office in Mexico STORY TOOLS Email this story | Print MORE STORIES 'Guest worker' plan assailed Ritter gives it right back to GOP critics of union stance Help wanted in Colorado — from Mexico Idea sounds 'real good' to Brighton farm family By April M. Washington, Rocky Mountain News August 25, 2007 Republican lawmakers Friday assailed a bipartisan proposal to open a recruitment office in Mexico to attract seasonal workers, saying it risks making Colorado a magnet for illegal immigrants. "This is sending the wrong message," said Republican Sen. Greg Brophy, a farmer from the Eastern Plains. "We need to be more creative than just opening up a state-sponsored employment office in Juarez. That's throwing in the towel and saying, 'Come on in.' " Rep. Marsha Looper, R-Calhan, and Sen. Abel Tapia, D-Pueblo, are floating a plan to recruit seasonal legal workers in Mexico to help Colorado farmers who are struggling to find help to bring in crops. The legislators initially called it a "guest worker" program, but only the federal government can grant visas to foreign workers. The proposal is intended only to help expedite existing visa programs, not create a new one, as some critics have said. The plan is preliminary, and talks just have gotten under way about introducing legislation in January. Senate Republicans called the proposal an attempt by Democrats to backslide from recent legislative efforts to stem the flow of illegal immigrants. "Unless the state is prepared to spend tens of millions of dollars to keep tabs on guest workers to make sure they don't overstay their visas, then this is a bad idea," said Sen. Josh Penry, R-Fruita. In truth, the proposal came from a Republican. Looper, a GOP House freshman, approached Tapia about co-sponsoring a bill. Looper could not be reached for comment Friday, but said earlier she urged her GOP colleagues to put aside partisan politics and do what's best for Colorado's agricultural market. Looper has been pressured this week by fellow Republicans to back away from the proposal. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, credited Looper for thinking outside the box, but argues that state-sponsored recruitment of migrant workers only would foster illegal immigration and further weaken attempts to secure the nation's southern border. "This goes a step too far," he said. "Sometimes you got to beat people back into the box. She has some high hurdles to get through before she gets to the border." Tapia defended the measure Friday as a creative and sound idea. He said neither he nor Looper is trying to lure undocumented workers or create a pathway to citizenship. Tapia and Looper have said that the state's crackdown on illegal immigration has caused migrant workers to bypass Colorado, leaving farmers short-handed. "We only want to expedite the current system," Tapia said. Looper and Tapia are hoping an office in Mexico can help Colorado farmers draw migrant workers through an existing federal visa program called "H-2A." That program has no cap on visa numbers, as some other visas do. However, employers must first find the specific foreign employees they want to hire, then have them approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. The state of Colorado and employers also would have to provide housing and transportation for migrant workers. washingtonam@RockyMoun tainNews.com or 303-954-5086 So what will be the solution? we know employer wont pay more, (illegal immigrant is the solution what you think?) or are you willing to pay more for your products?

Which is better American entertainment: American Idol or US Federal Govt? And do you think Simon, Paula & Randy could do any worse a job running the US Govt than the current crop of Dems & Republicans?
HOw long will we allow illegal immigrants continue to drive away our federal tax revenue and take jobs? Illegal immigrants take away tax revenue and don't recycle the American dollar. Instead they take it back to Mexico. I think that is wrong. When I get my paycheck, I pay my taxes and spend in my city, my county, my state, and my country. Illegal immigrants also take away jobs of the US citizens. Because there is an incentive to small business owners for cheap labor and no taxes, Americans lack the jobs. 11 million illegal immigrants and 5% unemployment. What would happen if illegal immigrants would go back to their country?

FBT deduction in US federal taxes? I was given the stock options by my employer (a multinational company) long back when I was in India. I exercised my options last year just before changing my job. In addition to the tax that needs to be paid on the gain to the IRS, I also had to pay the Fringe Benefit Taxes to my employer (as per the law in India that in case options granted when you were in India, then even though the stock is not at all traded in India, the taxes as per certain calculations must be paid to Indian govt by employer who can pass this financial burden to employee). Does anyone know or has anyone got any experience with a similar situation? I really want to find out if there is a way I can offset what I paid as FBT to my employer (who will pay to the Indian govt), from the taxable income that I had in 2008? Time is running out for the tax filing deadline this year and so any comments/light on this topic would be appreciated !!! Regards, Ashish
Anyone know the California or federal law regarding storage and access to narcotics in a hospital? I happen to know of a nurse that openly admits she gives the keys to the medication room to unlicensed staff so that they may get 'other' items stored in the med-room. I know this is against a few hundred corporate policies, but I need to see if there is a specific law stating that unlicensed staff cannot have unsupervised access to where narcotics are kept. This is a problem that could potentially cost us our jobs on an upcoming inspection....
Is the government lying to us about crime, unemployment and inflation? The federal government says that things are great but the people on the Internet say things are terrible. Who is right? The government says inflation is low by historical standards, but prices are rising like crazy. The government says that unemployment is only about 5% and that is near full employment because most of the people not working really do not want a job. But it is nearly impossible to find a good job. The government tells us we have very low crime closer to 1950s levels and everything is fine but parents are afraid to let their kids leave the house. What is the truth?

Can someone get the US citizenship claiming extreme poverty? ? This particular person has been a legal resident alien for over 15 years. They've been unemployed for the past 6 months therefore they don't have any money and has been offered a federal job.
How can I apply for a management-level job with a US company that would like to open an office on Guam? With the plans for the federal gov't to relocate 15,000 US Marines to Guam from Okinawa over the next 5-7 years, Guam is going to be ripe for more US businesses to set up shop and capitalize on all the potential business. As a US territory, we enjoy many US based businesses already, including KMart, Hard Rock Cafe, TGI Fridays and more. Plans include a Home Depot to open later this year as well as a Ruby Tuesday's restaurant. I am interested in working for any other major company that would like to consider Guam as their next overseas venture. I am a strong planner, manager, communicator, and have very strong organizational skills. Currently I work as an executive director and am looking for better opportunities. I live on Guam and can't seem to find a way to find companies who are recruiting employees to assist them in opening a location here. Can anyone help me with this? I am sure there are potential businesses out there that would love to consider Guam for more profits.
What profession in the US requires minimal(BA/BS) to no college and has good pay and benefits? Briefly say why this job is so wonderful. Example: POSTAL WORKER No higher education or special training required $50k+ a year 4 wks Annual Leave, and 2 wks Sick Leave a year Union protected rights and job security Federal benefits, and retirement BTW... Postal workers are Federal employees but don't use any tax dollars, we are self sufficient.
Dear PM, What are your plans to assist intellectually handicapped young people to get Govt jobs? Dear Prime Minister, When are you going to reserve jobs for Intellectually challenged able workers in Federal Government, like you do for Aboriginal and Torres straight Islanders? There are lots of genuinely hard working mildly Intellectually Handicapped young people who are unable to get an opening in Federal Government departments. If you have plans, could you please let us know how they can find one.
Can being in the US Coast Guard experience help me get a job? I have been wondering if the experience that i get in the US Coast Guard can help me get a job with the DEA, FBI, ICE, or any other federal agency once I get out of the military and have been honorable discharge without me going to college or any university?
"Hillarycare:" if the federal government can compel you to buy health insurance . . .? and compel employers to provide it, can it also compel everyone to get a high school diploma? Or a job? Or mandate that the parents of a child conceived out of wedlock get married? But seriously, I have many questions on the various health care plans being discussed, and am still sorting through it all. But my basic question is about the limits of the federal government's power to, say, require that everyone obtain health insurance. How does this compare with other actions the federal government requires us to take? Where is the constitutional authority? Again, the federal government already imposes many requirements on us, and I believe Mitt Romney instituted a similar state plan in Mass. Finally, I included my examples about education, jobs and marriage, because studies show these factors contribute most to poverty. What say you?
Washington State minimum wage is going to $7.93 hour and no jobs are being lost - are businesses lying to us? they lobby against it saying that they will lose workers and some will have to close if the minimum wage goes up - yea right FACTS current federal rate is $ 5.15 washington state is $ 7.63 now washington state has a lower cost of living than many states with the federal rate ( including the goods and services index )
Each of us needs to ask Congress for relief from the federal and state fuel tax? Even though the fuel prices are unstable, we need relief from the additional federal and state tax on fuel that we are paying. It is unfair that the government is benefiting from the high price of fuel by getting a percentage of what we are paying. Relief is needed so that we can get to our jobs, without jobs there is no federal and state payroll tax to "fuel" the government. I am not saying we should not have tax on fuel, just not the ADDITIONAL tax being calculated since fuel prices have risen to extreme and our government is benefiting from the tax when we can not afford to get to our JOBS! This is "something" that can be done for RELIEF for millions of working class people. My calculation is that the federal and state tax should only be on $1.00 per gallon of fuel flat and exempt us from tax on anything above $1.00 per gallon.
why is the US government in its entirety constantly screwing its citizens over? increasing taxes, evaporating civil rights, direct federal control over some businesses (namely microsoft), making air travel a joke because they cant profile, which is necessary against RELIGIOUS zealots. the borders arent secure and they will never be, seeing that all the illegals will get amnesty eventually, further screwing the citizens out of their jobs. not to mention the huge bills mexicans leave at our hospitals, making us pay, the loss of re venue from taxes when they work under the table, making the yoke of taxes unbearable some day very soon.... when will the people wake up ahnd realize its time to do something, theyve been being sold out for decades? lets not explore the welfare state and the tax breaks for the rich.........if being middle class means shouldering everyone above and below you...then we shall all have 5 children, no jobs and be poor. at least in communism, everyone worked at jobs. maybe they didnt eat every day, but at least most of them worked
I was deported from US after spend 60 days in Federal Prison, Can I clean my record? I was deported after spend 60 days in a Federal Prison after try to get into US at airport.

How can I clean my record, because I have to travel other countries for my current job? Can I use a waiver letter asking for forgiveness? I do not want to comeback to US, I just dont want have a problems at others airports.

General information about being an Air Force Mail Tech? I've just been looking through federal jobs on the US job site and came across one for an Air Force Mail Tech. I was looking into becoming a USPS mailman but can't find any test availability near to me. I'm interested in the Mail Tech job but was just looking to see if anyone had any insight on it. For one, they give a wide range of pay, if anyone could narrow it in for me that would be great. Also, do they function mostly as a mailman would? If I worked in another country would I live on the base? Is housing provided? Basically just any information would be great, I'll try to research it further online but figured someone with personal experience as or around this post may be able to help. Thanks
would this help with law firms in the future here in the US? I have a very close aunt that is a high-ranking federal court judge overseas. If I become a law clerk at her court, would that still help with my job opportunities here in the states? Or am I recommended to do clerkship in the US?
When Bush leaves, purge federal agencies of Pat Robertson Christians? Regent University in Virginia Beach alumni and faculty, as dominionists will hopefully be hunted down and removed from their jobs in federal agencies. Monica Goodling is among 150 Regent grads currently working in the Bush administration. Working from within, these are among the cacdres who would strive to create a theocracy in the US. D: sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. D: I apologize for my flippant comment, But if this keeps the Monica Gooldlings out of jobs where they can do great harm, then yes I would absolutely discriminate. If they can not be trusted to support and defend the constitution, they are better off in the private sector and not subverting our government into a theocracy. Locutus: actually its the other way around. Mike: Do you consider Monica Goodling a Christian? Do you consider Pat Robertson a Christian? Would Christ advocate murdering a foreign head of state? Would Christ take the 5th Amendment to avoid testimony? These people are not Christians. I have issues with the Domionists. They are not Christians either.
Is there a federal regulated limit on the number of hours an employer can work you? In Ohio I was told the State law doesn't permit working us over 60 hours at one job but I was wondering if this varried state to state or if there were any limits nationally.
Questions about Federal/Govt Careers? My husband has a MA in Policital Science and a M Sc in Mass Communications. In the next two years he will be looking for a career, he is currently deployed and doing exceptionally well. I have seen job fairs etc, but most are for basic jobs and we are looking for federal/govt positions. The questions is, are there any federal job recruiters or any types of agencies that can sort of give us the scoop or assistance of how to get placed in these types of jobs? We would pay top dollar for the assistance. He is interested in Foreign Officer, Foreign Affairs Specialist, and bascially any type of Foriegn Policies work and other jobs related to his language and country of birth. He is a naturalized citizen and has already started the sf86 sec. clearance papers. We have been looking at opm.gov, usaid.gov, jobsfed.com, and state.gov. Are there any professionals who assist in helping us prepare for applying?
Is the United States Government Compliant with its Own Policies? I find that the US Government does not practice what it preaches for example why is there an age discrimination law that does not apply to the military or the FAA or any other federal job? Another instance is found in the bill of rights I believe that no person can be jailed for owing a debt, so why are so many people jailed for child support and IRS debt? Please elaborate.
Should Marijuana possession and use be decriminalized on the Federal level? I currently live in the state of New Jersey, a few miles from the state of New York. If an 18 year old kid gets caught with the possession of Marijuana on his person, he is tried as a lawbreaker. Then that kid has a black mark on him for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, a kid in New York does not get the same black mark placed upon him. Marijuana possession is the equivilent of a parking ticket in New York. State drug laws vary from state to state, though because of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, all are illegal. Should the penalty for being caught be decriminalized and set up on the Federal level? I already feel bad for the kids who get their lives ruined because they are caught smoking it. Even if they stop though, in states like NJ, a charge like that can ruin someone's chances at a good job. PS: No, I'm not writing this because I got nailed. I just had watched a documentary narriated by Woody Harrelson that got the gears spinning in my 30 year old head!
i dont blame mexicans, the US gov is the problem..anyone? sure i wish theyd stay home, but if i were starving and couldnt find work id go look for a job, and the US is more than happy to supply work to them for cheap. its not just mexico, currently all illegal chinese are allowed to stay in the US because china wont allow them to return.....dont believe me?....google--chertoff illegal chinese----- if the US gov wanted to solve this problem it wouldve been done long ago, but they dont consider this a problem. they just sit and let the states fork out billions in taxes to pay for extra social services, education, healthcare, law enforcement.....the list is endless. and the federal gov doesnt give a crap
85,000 jobs lost so far this year? The Department of Labor reports that US employers have cut 85,000 jobs so far this year... How can the federal government reverse this? (I am not asking who is to blame, I want to know about SOLUTIONS!!!) Mr. Peanut... Yeah... but I don't think making bicycle repair guys government employees is going to help much!
Federal Student Loans? Has anyone every wondered why the government isn't doing anything about the jobs being outsourced? And if former college students are having problems with paying back their loans, why can't the government do anything about these jobs so that these former college students would be able to pay the federal(and I repeat FEDERAL) students loan back? Additional Details Ok we borrow federal student aid from the government and after we graduate, we would have to pay these loans back to them... So my argument is that if they need these money back to them, why can't they do anything about these jobs?? So if they want us to contribute to the society economically, why can't they do something about it? So all those years(2-6-or even more yrs) of going to college for a specific type of major(for that dream job) is just down the drain? That's just a big waste of going to college then..

Your Name Your Email Address Recipient's Email Address Separate multiple addresses with commas Message (optional): Digg It! Newsvine Del.icio.us Facebook Prominent Democrats are upset with the aggressive role that Bill Clinton is playing in the 2008 campaign, a role they believe is inappropriate for a former president and the titular head of the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, both currently neutral in the Democratic contest, have told their old friend heatedly on the phone that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Sen. Barack Obama, according to two sources familiar with the conversations who asked for anonymity because of their sensitive nature. Clinton, Kennedy and Emanuel all declined to comment. On balance, aides to both Bill and Hillary still see Bill as a huge net plus in fund-raising, attracting large crowds and providing a megaphone to raise doubts about Obama—even if some of those doubts are distortions. But there's concern that in hatcheting the Illinois senator and losing his temper with the news media (last week he thrashed a San Francisco TV reporter for asking about a lawsuit filed by Clinton-backing teachers union members to limit the number of Nevada caucuses), Clinton is drawing down his political capital and harming his role as a global statesman. "This is excruciating," says a member of the Clintons' circle, who asked for anonymity. "But the stakes couldn't be higher. It's worth it to tarnish himself a bit now to win the presidency." During a December taping with PBS's Charlie Rose, a frustrated Clinton called Obama "a roll of the dice," as aides tried to end the interview. Then, in New Hampshire, he argued angrily that the story of Obama's principled position on the Iraq War was a "fairy tale," a charge few reporters bought. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the top-ranking African-American in Congress and officially neutral, found Clinton's tone insulting and said so publicly. When the former president called Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat gave Clinton an earful, telling him that he bore some blame for the injection of race into the contest. In any event, both Hillary and Obama made peace on the race issue at the Las Vegas debate. The Clinton camp now fears that Kennedy is leaning toward Obama, according to the Clinton source, though Kennedy's office says he is making no endorsement "at this time." Clinton aides admit the boss sometimes goes off script. Obama officials say this itself should be a campaign issue. Greg Craig, who coordinated Clinton's impeachment defense in 1998 and is now a senior Obama adviser, argues that "recent events raise the question: if Hillary's campaign can't control Bill, whether Hillary's White House could." There is little precedent for a former president's engaging in intra-party attacks. In 1960, Harry Truman criticized the idea of a Roman Catholic president and tried briefly to stop John F. Kennedy's nomination. "I urge you to be patient," he told JFK publicly. But in 2000, former president George Bush declined to attack his son's GOP primary opponent, John McCain. Clinton is undeterred by the criticism and will likely keep hammering Obama if he thinks it helps Hillary. "History will judge the impact on the Clinton legacy, not daily or weekly political reporters," says Matt McKenna, Bill Clinton's press secretary. © 2008 Newsweek, Inc.

Spouse a common law wife Children some, maintained by natural mother concerned Kamal Karna Roy (a/k/a Kamal K.K. Roy, a/k/a Rev. Dr. Joseph Geronimo, Jr.) is a prolific pro se litigant who, since at least the early 1990s, has filed numerous lawsuits throughout the United States and its territories under the names Roy and Joseph Geronimo, Jr., as well as under the names of entities that he is affiliated with, including International Siva Consciousness & World Religions, Reforms International, Handicap Interests International, and Jungle Democracy.[1] Roy's lawsuits are often brought against multiple defendants, and feature long, unconventional complaints. Roy has filed lawsuits against God, U.S. Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, fast food restaurants, foreign leaders.[2], and Wikipedia [3] [4]. Roy's lawsuits have addressed, among many other things, actions taken by President George W. Bush, overcharging by telecommunication companies, the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court, and "failure of democratic societies and God's role therein."[5] In 2006 Judge Michael W. McConnell of The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit described a typical Roy complaint: Roy, a/k/a Joseph Geronimo, Jr. filed a 115-page complaint, a 144-page amended complaint, and a 40-page second amended complaint against over sixty defendants, including among many others President Bush, God as U.S.-based divine benefactor, several government agencies, The New York Times, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. In addition to pages of rambling discourse, the complaint contains numerous illegible handwritten remarks.[6] The Tenth Circuit went on to affirm the district court's dismissal of the complaint holding that no discernible claim was apparent from the complaint. Judge McConnell also humorously noted that the court "strongly suspect[ed] at least one defendant was not properly served."[7] Most, if not all, of Roy's complaints have been dismissed. A 2006 United States District Court for the District of Delaware opinion, Jungle Democracy v. U.S., describes Roy as "no stranger to litigation" and provides a partial list of Roy lawsuits that have been dismissed since 1991.[8] Despite Roy's lack of success in the courts, his lawsuits have been discussed in law school classrooms and in law related blogs.[9] [10] In April 2007 Roy filed a civil rights action against, among others, CBS Broadcasting Inc., MSNBC, the United States Government, and controversial radio shock jock Don Imus.[11] In October, 2007, Roy filed a suit in the US District Court, Middle District of Florida, against "Wikipedia Encyclopedia, USA, All News Media, All State Board of Elections, Federal Election Commission".

Your Name Your Email Address Recipient's Email Address Separate multiple addresses with commas Message (optional): Digg It! Newsvine Del.icio.us Facebook Prominent Democrats are upset with the aggressive role that Bill Clinton is playing in the 2008 campaign, a role they believe is inappropriate for a former president and the titular head of the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, both currently neutral in the Democratic contest, have told their old friend heatedly on the phone that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Sen. Barack Obama, according to two sources familiar with the conversations who asked for anonymity because of their sensitive nature. Clinton, Kennedy and Emanuel all declined to comment. On balance, aides to both Bill and Hillary still see Bill as a huge net plus in fund-raising, attracting large crowds and providing a megaphone to raise doubts about Obama—even if some of those doubts are distortions. But there's concern that in hatcheting the Illinois senator and losing his temper with the news media (last week he thrashed a San Francisco TV reporter for asking about a lawsuit filed by Clinton-backing teachers union members to limit the number of Nevada caucuses), Clinton is drawing down his political capital and harming his role as a global statesman. "This is excruciating," says a member of the Clintons' circle, who asked for anonymity. "But the stakes couldn't be higher. It's worth it to tarnish himself a bit now to win the presidency." During a December taping with PBS's Charlie Rose, a frustrated Clinton called Obama "a roll of the dice," as aides tried to end the interview. Then, in New Hampshire, he argued angrily that the story of Obama's principled position on the Iraq War was a "fairy tale," a charge few reporters bought. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the top-ranking African-American in Congress and officially neutral, found Clinton's tone insulting and said so publicly. When the former president called Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat gave Clinton an earful, telling him that he bore some blame for the injection of race into the contest. In any event, both Hillary and Obama made peace on the race issue at the Las Vegas debate. The Clinton camp now fears that Kennedy is leaning toward Obama, according to the Clinton source, though Kennedy's office says he is making no endorsement "at this time." Clinton aides admit the boss sometimes goes off script. Obama officials say this itself should be a campaign issue. Greg Craig, who coordinated Clinton's impeachment defense in 1998 and is now a senior Obama adviser, argues that "recent events raise the question: if Hillary's campaign can't control Bill, whether Hillary's White House could." There is little precedent for a former president's engaging in intra-party attacks. In 1960, Harry Truman criticized the idea of a Roman Catholic president and tried briefly to stop John F. Kennedy's nomination. "I urge you to be patient," he told JFK publicly. But in 2000, former president George Bush declined to attack his son's GOP primary opponent, John McCain. Clinton is undeterred by the criticism and will likely keep hammering Obama if he thinks it helps Hillary. "History will judge the impact on the Clinton legacy, not daily or weekly political reporters," says Matt McKenna, Bill Clinton's press secretary. © 2008 Newsweek, Inc.

Spouse a common law wife Children some, maintained by natural mother concerned Kamal Karna Roy (a/k/a Kamal K.K. Roy, a/k/a Rev. Dr. Joseph Geronimo, Jr.) is a prolific pro se litigant who, since at least the early 1990s, has filed numerous lawsuits throughout the United States and its territories under the names Roy and Joseph Geronimo, Jr., as well as under the names of entities that he is affiliated with, including International Siva Consciousness & World Religions, Reforms International, Handicap Interests International, and Jungle Democracy.[1] Roy's lawsuits are often brought against multiple defendants, and feature long, unconventional complaints. Roy has filed lawsuits against God, U.S. Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, fast food restaurants, foreign leaders.[2], and Wikipedia [3] [4]. Roy's lawsuits have addressed, among many other things, actions taken by President George W. Bush, overcharging by telecommunication companies, the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court, and "failure of democratic societies and God's role therein."[5] In 2006 Judge Michael W. McConnell of The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit described a typical Roy complaint: Roy, a/k/a Joseph Geronimo, Jr. filed a 115-page complaint, a 144-page amended complaint, and a 40-page second amended complaint against over sixty defendants, including among many others President Bush, God as U.S.-based divine benefactor, several government agencies, The New York Times, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. In addition to pages of rambling discourse, the complaint contains numerous illegible handwritten remarks.[6] The Tenth Circuit went on to affirm the district court's dismissal of the complaint holding that no discernible claim was apparent from the complaint. Judge McConnell also humorously noted that the court "strongly suspect[ed] at least one defendant was not properly served."[7] Most, if not all, of Roy's complaints have been dismissed. A 2006 United States District Court for the District of Delaware opinion, Jungle Democracy v. U.S., describes Roy as "no stranger to litigation" and provides a partial list of Roy lawsuits that have been dismissed since 1991.[8] Despite Roy's lack of success in the courts, his lawsuits have been discussed in law school classrooms and in law related blogs.[9] [10] In April 2007 Roy filed a civil rights action against, among others, CBS Broadcasting Inc., MSNBC, the United States Government, and controversial radio shock jock Don Imus.[11] In October, 2007, Roy filed a suit in the US District Court, Middle District of Florida, against "Wikipedia Encyclopedia, USA, All News Media, All State Board of Elections, Federal Election Commission".

New US Resident Need Tax Advice? I just got my US Permanent Resident card - got myself 1 full-time job and 2 part-time jobs (as independent contractor).

And if so, will refunds be difficult?

Appropriate W-4 withholding for newly married couple? (US California)? Hello - I recently got married (mid '05), but didn't change my withholding until last year. We were originally worried that we'd get nailed with a hefty tax bill last year, as we were both withholding 2, single. Turns out we only owed $500 federal, and a small amount for state. So early in 2006, we both updated our W-4's to married jointly. My wife was between jobs, and was making a career move - we saw that our total income was going to drop, and thought withholding 1 for both of us would be fine. Our 2006 total income (before adjustments) was about $15K less than 2005 - so I thought we might even get a refund. We were right, for our state taxes at least - refund of +$400. For federal, however, we owe $3100. My mind boggles at the insanity of this. Is this the dreaded "marriage tax" in effect? How in the hell could this happen? I filed through H&R Block's website - and I checked and rechecked my return before submitting - and so now I might even owe a penalty? What gives?!?
Federal Spending On Social Programs at an all time Low!? I wanted to address these working Class bigheaded stereotypes who think that they are working to fund the so called "Social Programs" for underprivledged segments of Society-- the poor! According to an article from the Boston Globe Bush's 2.6 trillion federal budget boosted National Defense while making the deepest cuts to social to social programs since the Reagan Administration. I am sooo tired of hearing the same old rederic from the upper and middle class-- My tax dollars pay for your health care, your foodstamps, your house, etc etc. A very knowledgable Sociologist once stated that Federal Budget makes up like 1% of all programs in the way of Financial and he also went on to say that that would be like us paying a penny a year / person for Social Programs. Poor people work harder than the rich-- Hell , we engineer jobs to keep you rich "busy" watching us. This ones for you fatcatkeeper.

Why is the Federal Govt based ALL in Washington DC? Why not spread it out? Sure it made since 300 years ago when they all needed the close proximity for communication purposes, but Mr. Prez, its 2007 there is no need to have everyone cramed into DC; not doing so would solve a number of potential problems/risks. 1. Terrorist/Enemies would have to strike numerous locations, not just one to cause collapse of govt. (Spread it out, put some in montana, throw some in wyoming, living in "less populated" areas is just part of the gig of being an employee of the federal govt. 2. Imagine what it would do for the City of "DC", all that traffic would go away. The residents of DC would have to disperse in order to find jobs once the Feds moved out of town...in essense getting rid of our nations biggest embarrasment, the Capital of the US being a haven for Crime/Drugs/Murder/ect...Jobs leave, people leave, problems leave.... On a serious note though, it would be safer and prevent one large terrorist attack from taking out everyone....opinions?
Response to the US Vs UK military questions? Just read this article. It came out of the most anti-American newspaper in the world. The Guardian... That being said, even these idiots can not deny the scope of American power. Oh yeah...There is no way Britain could even begin to dream about winning a (hypothetical) war against America. Read up on the US Military - no one even comes close. This isn't opinion...its fact. -------- American power -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armed to the teeth Is Bush's awesome increase in military spending a reasonable response to the afermath of September 11, or is he creating a force almost too powerful for its own good? Peter Beaumont and Ed Vulliamy report Is America too powerful for its own good? You can have your say online here. Observer Worldview Sunday February 10, 2002 The Observer There is a United States special forces dog-handler who meets journalists, diplomats and aid workers off the UN flight to Kabul. His job is to search luggage and ensure the security of US troops in Afghanistan. He is short, gingery and aggressive. His skills at persuasion are limited to shouting at the milling crowd: 'Stand back! Stand back! My dog will bite!' Last week that phrase had become the defining motto and operating credo for the military and foreign policy of the Bush administration. Already President George W. Bush has put Iran, Iraq and North Korea on notice as terrorist-sponsoring nations at the centre of an international 'axis of evil', despite the CIA's recent evidence that none of them was in the business of threatening the United States at present. Article continues -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Monday, to back that explicit threat, he announced an increase in US military spending of 15 per cent, the biggest in 20 years, more than double the military spending in all of the European Union. The rise will be $36 billion (£26.5bn) this year, $48 billion next year and $120 billion over the next five years, rising to a staggering two trillion over the next five years. Even this is not enough for General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. They want the US defence budget to increase at an even faster rate. What all this means is clear. Troubled by the 11 September attacks and buoyed by the ease of the war against Afghanistan, Bush's message to the 'evil doers' of the world is that he has a dog; that it is very big, getting bigger, and certainly it will bite. The puzzle about the latest rise in defence spending is that America at the beginning of the 21st century is already not so much a superpower as a behemoth on the world stage. Economically dominant, it enjoys military and cultural power unrivalled since the days of the Roman emperors, as the American author Robert D. Kaplan reminds us in his new book, Warrior Politics. Typically, it has been left to the French, traditionally suspicious of US global hegemony, to find the best words to describe it. Gigantisme militaire they call it, in a phrase that describes both the scale of America's ambitions and also a pathological condition: an organism grown so large it is sick. The question the rest of the world is asking itself is: Who is the enemy America is arming itself so against? And why? 'Ostensibly,' says one European diplomat, 'this is about security. But quite how a massive increase in defence spending is supposed to prevent another terrorist attack remains unclear. Instead this seems to be about repairing the bruised American psyche after 11 September. America's powerlessness in the face of this attack requires big gestures and reassurances, even if they are counter-productive and meaningless.' Indeed, some analysts say, if it is security that America seeks it is better sought in dialogue with potentially threatening states, rather than in reinforcing the idea already held by many anti-US groups that it is an evil empire bent on world domination. Cynics have identified more overtly self-serving strands in the Republican obsession with America's defence. The 'war' rhetoric, as some US liberal commentators have pointed out, serves a purely domestic Republican agenda in the post-11 September mood of national paranoia: to win Bush a second presidential term and, in the shorter term, regain Congress. The reality - even before the latest proposed increases in military spending - is that America could beat the rest of the world at war with one hand tied behind its back. The requirement that US armed forces be able to fight two fully fledged wars with two separate adversaries simultaneously may recently have been dropped, but only because it would be hard pushed to find two such equal foes to fight. A single US nuclear-powered carrier group - which forms around the USS Enterprise, for example, with a flight deck almost a mile in length and a superstructure 20 storeys high - concentrates more military power in one naval group than most states can manage with all their armed forces. America has seven of these battle groups. It is not just the scale and power of these weapons systems. The reach of US arms, too, is awesome. When the USS Kitty Hawk was sent with its accompanying warships from Yokohama to the Gulf for the war against Afghanistan, it covered 6,000 miles in just 12 days to be transformed into a vast floating forward attack station for thousands of US special forces. Its B-52 bombers can fly and refuel across the world armed with cruise missiles that can be fired hundreds of miles away from hostile skies, the missiles themselves directed to their targets by satellites in orbit. And America's supremacy in bombs, planes, satellites, tanks and real-time intelligence have made the prospect of US casualties remote, except in the event of cock-up or disaster. And, significantly, as the world's only economic hyper-power, it can afford this level of militarisation. But against all this even the manufacturers of America's arms - like the aviation giant Lockheed-Martin - have been struggling for a decade or so to define the threat its top-shelf jets will be battling in the skies, being forced in one memorable presentation to show the European Eurofighter as a potential adversary. So why the need for more and better military power? Even military analysts are baffled. 'The rise in US military spending,' says Dan Plesch, senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, 'ought to be compared to the decision in the First World War to order up more cavalry when the first wave had been mown down by machine-guns. 'The US has no competitor in high-tech military equipment. And what it is spending its money on is mostly irrelevant against the knives used to carry out 11 September. The bombing of Afghanistan has created the illusion of victory.' Professor Paul Kennedy at Yale University calculates that the US now spends more each year than the next nine largest national defence budgets combined. Indeed America is responsible for about 40 per cent of the world's military spending. The new defence expenditure will be paid for by a freshly dug deficit and cuts to every other federal spending programme - including social security, Medicare and urban renewal - apart from tax breaks loaded heavily in favour of the upper-income brackets. Amid all this, military might has emerged as the central tenet of America's new power, the defining feature of the Bush administration. Already it is causing alarm, even among America's closest allies in Nato, where Lord Robertson, the usually unflappable secretary-general, has been moved to warn some members that unless the declining European defence expenditure is reversed then Europe - and the Europeans in Nato - are in danger of becoming military pygmies. It is not a prospect likely to worry the military hawks in the Bush administration, who favour unilateralism over alliance. Indeed the Nato alliance, built to counter the rival superpower conflict of the Cold War, is already almost redundant, some diplomats claim. 'Will the Americans ever fight a war through Nato again?' asks Carl Bildt, former Swedish Prime Minister. 'It's doubtful. The United States reserves the right to itself to wage war, and dumps on others the messy, expensive business of nation-building and peace keeping'. And the Afghan war has not only put the US in sole command of the world, but fundamentally reshaped the architecture of international alliances. Central Asia is splattered with new American fortresses; the Pacific and Indian oceans are patrolled by aircraft carriers and accompanying fleets of awesome size.
Some of you wanted to know how illegals affect us? personally???? Here is ONE example!!!!!!!!!!!!! Catastrophe in Care Hospitals are being crippled by the costs of treating migrants--and that could be just the start of an immigrant-related health crisis By LEO W. BANKS Leo W. Banks One of the many signs on the Naco Highway. Leo W. Banks "It's not unusual to have one UDA (undocumented alien) cost $5,000, and we know we're not going to get that back," says Josie Mincher, emergency room manager at Copper Queen Hospital. Leo W. Banks "Until we have comprehensive immigration reform, we need to bear the health-care costs for undocumented workers, whatever those costs are," says Rev. Tom Buechele. If you drive along Southern Arizona's border with Mexico long enough, you might see a lone illegal wandering the desert. Or maybe he's hunched at the roadside sipping water from his milk jug. What's he doing there, and where are his compatriots, the people he broke into the country with? The uninformed might ask those questions, but those who live with the daily invasion across our open borders can make a pretty good guess what's happening. The fellow got bounced from his group by the coyote-guide. Two transgressions will get an illegal cut loose with certainty: Either he can't pay, or he shows signs of tuberculosis. You think these coyotes are fools? They don't want some hollow-eyed lunger hacking and coughing blood on them. So it's adios, pal, and now you're America's problem. But they know that already. Every illegal realizes that if he makes it to an emergency room in Southern Arizona, or anywhere around the country for that matter, he can get treatment, free of charge. It's federal law, and has been for 20 years. In its evolution, the policy has become a kind of federal health insurance program for illegals, and its rising costs are eating up resources that could otherwise go to poor and uninsured American citizens. It has created a financial nightmare for border hospitals and contributed to cutbacks in services at Tucson hospitals. Is this an outrage? A scandal? Some think it's both. But going back to our active TB sufferer, here's something even worse: The guy can't get treatment anywhere, goes underground and takes a job at a restaurant in Tucson or L.A., and coughs his way to infecting scores of others. Talk about a Hobson's choice. But as with everything in the ongoing crisis of illegal immigration, the hard choices would largely evaporate if the federal government fulfilled its constitutional duty and took control of our border. The threat illegal immigration poses to American public health plays out every day at Arizona's hospitals. Until recently, the issue remained only marginally public, a problem medical people batted around among themselves, not with the media. Even today, several hospitals contacted for this story declined comment. The Copper Queen Hospital in Bisbee, one of the hardest hit, helped break that barrier when CEO Jim Dickson began returning reporters' calls, even though the subject, as he puts it, has become "like the third rail. You don't want to touch it." But his problem had grown severe. Dickson's uncompensated costs for treating illegals rose from $35,000 in 1999 to $450,000 in 2004. His total shortfall now sits at about $1.4 million, a hefty deficit for a 14-bed hospital. To make ends meet, he had to close, in June 2000, the Copper Queen's long-term care facility, and cut back on staff and hours, forcing some employees to take second jobs to survive. The hospital has seen a ray of light, however. In the first months of 2005, the Copper Queen has gone back into surplus, in part because more illegals are in Border Patrol custody when brought in to the hospital. That means the Border Patrol must reimburse the Queen for the cost. In the past, agents would drop injured illegals not in their custody at the ER and take off, sticking the hospital with bills that never got paid. Another reason for the decrease, says Dickson: the Minuteman Project. "It's been terrific for us in April," he says, cutting down on the number of people coming across and therefore the number requiring ER treatment. Dickson says the hospital wrote off about $6,000 in losses in April this year, compared to about $35,000 in April 2004. The central issue, though, remains in place--the hospital has had to scale back health services to American citizens to treat illegals. Bisbee isn't alone. The most comprehensive study on the subject found that 24 counties in four states bordering Mexico wracked up $190 million in unpaid emergency medical bills caring for illegals in the year 2000. The study, commissioned by the U.S.-Mexico Border Counties Coalition, found that California spent $79 million of that; Texas, $74 million; Arizona, $31 million; and New Mexico, $6 million. Bear in mind that these numbers, the best available, are from 2000. We can assume, with increasing rates of crossings since then, the costs are considerably higher today. Nor do the above figures take into account non-border counties. Treating illegals in Maricopa County costs as much as $50 million a year, according to an estimate used by Republican Sen. Jon Kyl. Nationally, American hospitals lose $1.45 billion a year. The Medicare reform bill passed in 2003 allocated $1 billion to reimburse states for federally mandated ER care given to illegals--about $45 million a year of that to come to Arizona over four years. But even that, some hospital staffers say, is little more than a Band-Aid on a huge problem. Ruth Kish, director of patient care services at Copper Queen, expects that under the repayment formula, her hospital will receive only 10 cents of every dollar they spend on illegals. "But every bit helps," says Kish. Another factor: The counties in the above-mentioned study spent an additional $13 million in 2000 on emergency transportation, such as helicopters and ambulances, to pick up illegals injured after sneaking across the line. The Bisbee Fire Department's ambulance responds to about one of these calls a day during the summer, says Chief Jack Earnest. Asked how many of these patients pay up, Earnest wasn't sure, and recommended contacting the billing office in Sierra Vista. The billing office knew exactly how often illegals pay their ambulance bills--never. But there's another category--Mexicans injured in Mexico who call American ambulances for help. By federal law, they have to respond, which makes Bisbee's Copper Queen the trauma center of choice for Sonora's northern frontier. The calls come from Naco, Sonora, the town across the line just south of Bisbee, where, in spite of widespread poverty, cell phones are popular, and everybody knows the Americans are bound by law to treat them. "When we get a call we go, and we don't ask where the person's from," says Earnest. Naco residents needing care go to the port of entry and declare an emergency to American officials. When they're waved through, they're transported to the Copper Queen's ER in Bisbee's ambulance, or they drive themselves in private cars. The policy is called Compassionate Entry, and it applies to hospitals up and down the line. The Copper Queen averages about five such cases a month. Some abuse the privilege, says ER Manager Josie Mincher. She's seen Compassionate Entries with bad sore throats and others who aren't sick at all. One pregnant girl landed in the ER recently complaining of morning sickness. Most are seriously sick, though, and the staff rushes to help, "because that's what we do," says Mincher. But it doesn't take much to blow the budget. "Just walking in the door is $400," says Mincher. "It's not unusual to have one UDA (undocumented alien) cost $5,000, and we know we're not going to get that back. We're playing with monopoly money here." Here's an example of how one patient can wrack up a huge bill: A young Mexican man had a bad auto accident across the line and was taken to Douglas' Southeast Arizona Medical Center with severe neurological problems. After being stabilized there, he was transferred to Barrow's Neurological Center in Phoenix. He spent a costly month there, courtesy of the Center, and was transferred--with a tracheotomy tube in his throat and supplies to clean it, also provided gratis by Barrow's--to a hospital in Hermosillo. That facility kept him less than a day before releasing him to his home in Naco. But for reasons no one can explain, the Hermosillo hospital kept his trach kit and cleaning supplies. As a result, he became septic--a bad infection--and came through the Naco port under Compassionate Entry to the Copper Queen. He spent three days there, then the staff sent him off, with more free supplies, to a clinic in Agua Prieta for continued care. How much did this fellow cost the American health care system? A figure of a quarter-million dollars would surprise no one. Cost to the Copper Queen? Almost $6,000, and they got none of it back. Northern Cochise Community Hospital is in Willcox, far enough from the border that it doesn't get patients crossing the line for health care. But that doesn't mean it escapes the invasion. CEO Chris Cronberg loses about $100,000 a year caring for illegals, mostly those injured in traffic accidents when their loaded vehicle flips while speeding north. "It's not make or break for us," says Cronberg. "But as a small hospital, we depend on cash, and those are dollars that aren't coming in, so it has an impact." The same is true at Sierra Vista Regional Health Center, according to Vice President Marie Wurth. She expects the hospital to lose $250,000 this year treating those who jump the line, get hurt doing it and don't pay their bills. The big squeeze is on in Tucson, too. Tucson Medical Center loses an estimated $4 million every year treating illegals. The corresponding figure at UMC, which includes some foreign nationals, was $3.5 million for fiscal 2004, a $2 million increase from the previous year. Part of that is attributable to UMC, in July 2003, becoming Tucson's only Level One trauma center, meaning it saw the most serious cases. Chief Financial Officer Kevin Burns says the hospital's re-payment rate for treating illegals is about 5 cents on the dollar. "It's very expensive for us and continues to grow," says Burns, who says many illegals, as well as uninsured Americans, use his ER like a primary care physician. "We hear anecdotally that people come here from across the border because they know they can get cared for, and if they present at the ER, they can get that care at no cost." The federal law that put the hospitals on the hook for the medical bills of illegals goes by the acronym EMTALA--Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. It says that anybody who shows up in an ER must get screened, treated and stabilized, regardless of citizenship or ability to pay. But since its passage in 1985, the definition of emergency has evolved to include just about anything, and because Congress didn't fund the requirement, hospitals have had to eat the costs as word has spread that the federal goodie wagon is parked at the ER door. In cities with huge illegal populations, such as Los Angeles, the effects have been disastrous. In its spring 2005 issue, the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons reported that between 1993 and 2003, 60 California hospitals closed because, for several reasons including EMTALA, half of their services became unpaid. Another 24 are near closing, says author Madeleine Pelner Cosman. She also writes that in 1983, before EMTALA, L.A. County put together a trauma network that was "one of America's finest emergency med response organizations." A mere 22 years later--again, in part because of EMTALA--Cosman says the system is coming apart, with most trauma hospitals having left the network, along with physicians, surgeons and others. The law has caused a similar situation in Tucson, on a smaller scale. "With EMTALA, the government created an unfunded national health insurance program, and it has caused real problems in this community," says Dr. Herb McReynolds, who works for a company that manages the ER department for St. Mary's Hospital, which treats a large number of illegals. Lawmakers wrote the legislation to prevent patient dumping--in which one hospital refuses to accept, say, an uninsured woman in labor, telling ambulance personnel to take her to the county hospital instead. It stopped that practice. But it has caused a big increase in the amount of un-reimbursed care that hospitals provide, and in McReynolds' words, "made physicians rethink their careers and lifestyles." "The price of it has come over time, because after so much uncompensated care, it forces physicians off our call list," says McReynolds. "Physicians have a practice to go to the next day and a family, and ask themselves, do I really want to be up at 2 a.m. providing care when I won't get comp, and I can still get sued?" Some docs have removed themselves from on-call lists by going to work at outpatient surgical centers not affiliated with a hospital. Others stay on call, but limit the amount of time they're available. A neurosurgeon might take call one day a week, and that satisfies the law. EMTALA says that you must provide a reasonable amount of coverage, without being strict or specific about how much that is. McReynolds says that EMTALA--in tandem with the malpractice crisis--has caused the loss of medical coverage at many hospitals around the country and in Tucson, including St. Mary's. "Several years ago we had five neurosurgeons on staff here, and now we have two," he says. "We had hand surgery coverage every day, and now we have it one week a month. We used to have full ob-gyn coverage, and now they've left and gone to TMC. We have no ob-gyn and one gynecologist on staff covering emergencies one day a week." With docs all over Tucson running for cover, trying to stay off call and away from ERs, the variety of emergency health care available to Tucsonans has seriously diminished. And here's the most maddening irony of all: The feds now reimburse American hospitals for treating non-paying illegals, but not for treating American citizens. Exception: Those eligible for care under Federal Emergency Services, a fairly restrictive program. For a year and a half now, UMC has approached non-paying illegals in a novel way--it actually reports them to immigration officials. "Some people find that cold, but we have a responsibility to protect this charitable asset (hospital)," says CFO Burns, adding that UMC's status as a public entity requires a different approach. "Our belief is that to the extent people have ability to pay, we expect them to." After triaging and stabilizing an ER patient, the hospital sets out to learn who that patient is, and how he or she plans to pay. To those who are uninsured and underinsured, the hospital offers the option of applying for its innovative Charity Care program. Under it, the hospital charges the patient the same rate it would receive for that service from Medicare, a possible reduction of up to 70 percent. Patients unable to pay at that discounted rate are eligible for further discounts that can tear up the bill entirely. To apply for Charity Care, the patient need only return to the hospital with a W-2 or other documents. Those who cooperate and return with the required documents don't get reported to the feds. But the hospital does report those who take the medical care and run. How many illegals cooperate with this generous offer? Ten percent. Burns says UMC began reporting the 90 percent who don't pay in November of 2003. So far, they've reported 565 persons. Why start reporting? "Maybe a bit of it was born of frustration because people use our resources and make no effort to work with us and pay," he says. "Even if part of the population doesn't pay, I still have to hire new people and buy and upgrade equipment, which costs $15-$20 million a year. When you have these strains on resources, from foreign citizens and as well as Medicaid patients, you have to manage cash flow very carefully." As with most issues related to the illegal invasion, those who live along the Mexican border, the scene of the crime, have the best view. Where health issues are concerned, it's not a pretty sight. Residents say they've come across ground dotted with discarded pills, syringes containing nobody knows what, and used needles. Some report riding horses along creek beds, popular pull-up areas for groups heading north, and finding 70 or 80 piles of human feces, some of it blackened and running with blood. It's as disgraceful as it is disgusting--and it raises a question: What happens when rain washes all this into the water supply? Is it a threat to spread diseases such as hepatitis? Some believe it might be. What happens when cows drink from these contaminated creeks? And what happens when this constant flow of Third World humanity goes north, fanning out all across Arizona and the country? What kind of diseases do they bring with them? ER workers like Mincher live with that question every day. "We protect ourselves best we can," she says, "but if somebody comes in with a contagious disease, I might as well buy the farm, because I don't know what it is. A lot of times, they don't know what they have either. If they came off a ranch in southern Mexico, they've had no immunizations, no health care, nothing." Most of what she sees at Copper Queen--around 75 percent--is orthopedic, falls suffered while jumping fences, for instance. Dehydration, too. Some of these are pregnant women nine months along, who, in Mincher's words, "are so desperate to have their babies born in the U.S., they'll do whatever it takes." She sees cardiac-related cases among illegals who've been given crack, methamphetamine or speed by their coyote so they can keep walking. But she's also treated illegals with active chicken pox, tuberculosis, all varieties of hepatitis and AIDS. The Web and print media are full of stories about the diseases illegals carry, and their effect on American health. But some writers make alarming claims with sketchy evidence at best. In the cases of two diseases, however--Chagas and tuberculosis--the evidence is clearer that they're indeed coming across our border. Chagas, a potentially fatal illness spread by contact with the feces of the reduviid bug, called the "kissing bug," is prevalent in South and Central America. Fifteen million people in that region are infected with the parasite, and 50,000 die of it every year, according to the World Health Organization. A person can be infected for 10 or 20 years or more before showing symptoms, making it particularly insidious. At its most severe, the disease can cause the heart to fail, and literally explode. In the United States? Louis Kirchhoff, of the University of Iowa Medical School, estimates that between 80,000 and 120,000 Latin Americans with Chagas live here. Matching prevalence studies and immigration numbers, Kirchhoff figures about 10 Chagas-infected persons entered every day from Mexico alone in the 1990s. The disease can be transmitted four ways, but for Americans, the most worrisome is the blood supply. In the United States overall, the chance of contracting Chagas from a blood transfusion is small, one in 25,000, according to David Leiby, a research scientist at the American Red Cross in Washington. But in cities with high populations from Latin America, the numbers fall to much riskier levels. In Miami, for example, the chance is one on 9,000. In L.A., 1 in 5,400. Researchers have confirmed seven cases of people contracting Chagas through blood transfusions--five in the U.S., two in Canada--and they say the number of unknown cases is probably much higher. "A rate of one in 5,400 is something we're concerned about," says Leiby, adding that the FDA is still a few years away from a useable blood-screening test. "Chagas is overlooked by the health care system in the United States. Our physicians aren't aware of it and wouldn't recognize it in most cases." Tuberculosis, which also shows up in high rates in Mexico, is migrating north as well. Many assume a place like Cochise County, right on the border and overrun by illegals, would have a high incidence of TB. But it doesn't, says Edith Sampson, of the Cochise County Health Department. "The immigrants only pass through here on the way to Atlanta, or whatever city they're going to," she says. Exactly the problem--which is a big reason why 53 percent of the TB in the United States in 2003 was among foreign-born persons, up from 29 percent in 1993, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In L.A., again because of its huge illegal population, the figure is closer to 80 percent. Only 15,000 Americans suffer from active TB, the only dangerous kind because it can be passed to someone else, usually by coughing and expelling the bacteria from the throat or lungs. That's a small number, but the New York Academy of Sciences estimates that each victim will "infect 10 or 20 or more people--in whom the disease will likely remain latent, creating the potential time-bomb effect." The State Health Department says that Arizona had 295 reported cases of active TB in 2003, a jump from the previous year. Why the increase? More of the disease was found among kids under 5 years old and prisoners. The latter were mostly Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees--in other words, illegals. Sixty-eight percent of Arizona's foreign-born TB cases are from Mexico, says state health. Will TB return to the United States in a big way? It hasn't yet, says Lee Reichman, executive director of the New Jersey Medical School's National Tuberculosis Center. But he adds that with globalization--the ability to get around the world in 20 hours--and because "we can't stop people from getting in to this country, no matter how hard we try," the potential exists for a new epidemic. His particular concern is with multi-drug-resistant TB, fatal in 60 percent of cases. This strain requires a long regimen of costly drugs that illegals are unlikely to take, or have access to. Arizona has a small number of MDR-TB cases, and all of them in the past five years have been among foreign-born persons. "The reason you haven't heard about TB here is that good public health is working," says Reichman. "People who are symptomatic go to physicians, and the physicians don't ask questions. As soon as you have to ID yourself, or say we're going to send you back to Mexico, these people go into hiding and spread more TB. Any physician who cares about being a physician isn't going to ask those questions, because he took an oath to treat sick people." The Copper Queen's Rush Kish says that under Medicare reimbursement guides, her hospital cannot ask patients if they are in the country illegally. But how do you bill the feds to get money back for treating illegals if you can't ask if someone is illegal? Well, you play a little Orwellian word game, probing around the issue with a list of government-approved questions, then make educated assumptions. But the illegal holds the trump card, because he can refuse to answer every question. "We don't know yet what evidence Medicare will accept when we apply for reimbursement," says Kish. "But at least we can begin documenting the enormity of this problem." The question isn't whether those with genuine emergencies should get treatment. Of course they should. In Naco, residents have no access to ER care and many would die if they didn't get to the Copper Queen. The real question is: Who pays? Rev. Tom Buechele, pastor at St. John's Episcopal Church in Bisbee, thinks it's appropriate for the federal government to keep ponying up, as long as American companies "maintain their illegal trafficking in human labor." "Until we have comprehensive immigration reform, we need to bear the health-care costs for undocumented workers, whatever those costs are," says Buechele, who, for almost a year now, has been running a free monthly clinic in Naco, Arizona, catering to the poor and uninsured on both sides of the line. Although they talk a different language, politicians, even Republicans, promote policies that further Buechele's liberal vision. They boast to constituents that they've saved border hospitals by pushing through the Medicare reimbursement plan, which provides a relatively small amount of money over four years. But that's another Hobson's choice, which is to say no choice at all. What do you do, let hospitals go under? Kyl, who pushed to get the reimbursement money, says an emphatic no. "If we want those ERs to be there for us, then we'd better keep them in business," says the Arizona senator. "If our hospitals are required by federal law to treat anybody who comes into the ER, and the federal government has failed to control the border, then it's appropriate for the government to reimburse these hospitals." But some argue that the system as it stands now, with EMTALA firmly in place, is rigged to produce two results: The federal treasury will remain wide open to illegals, and that all but guarantees that more and more of them will bust the line to get here. After all, this is the end of the rainbow for them, where jobs await, education is free, health care is free. Who wouldn't come? And the more they come, the more American health suffers--from such diseases as Chagas and TB, further cutbacks in hospital services to American citizens, and even possible closures. Where's the compassion in that? Copper Queen ER nurse Josie Mincher, herself Hispanic, puts her health, and possibly her life, on the line to treat illegals. Listen to the emotion in her voice as she describes what that's like: "I go to work every day feeling like I'm on a torture wrack. My heartstrings get pulled in one direction by these sick people I want to help. Because I'm Hispanic, I know how they live. And I'm pulled in the other direction, too, thinking that if our hospitals aren't around, where do I take my own kids? "But we have to treat them because of EMTALA. It says that anybody who comes within 250 yards of an ER gets treatment. What would happen to Safeway if the law said anyone who comes within 250 yards of the store gets free food? They'd go out of business. Well, we're a business, too." Mincher's solution? "Send the bills to Mexico. If it affected them financially, they might do something about all these people coming across. My grandparents came here legally, and it took a long time and a lot of money. They respected the law. These people just walk across now. They weren't brought up the same way." Burns at UMC says he wants the U.S. and Mexican governments to work together to find a solution. But, as Kyl cautions, don't expect any breakthrough soon. Mexico benefits far too much from our illegal immigration nightmare--in jobs for its citizens and cash sent home--to step up with money to care for its own people. Until the border brought under control and the invasion stopped, we'll continue to pay the bills of people who illegally tiptoed across the line in the dead of night. This is an article from the Arizona Repuiblic newspaper, NOT something i "made up"!!!! If you don't believe me, LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELF!!! It's on-line, if you look under Copper Queen hospital!!! And for those of you that can not take the time to READ this article, i can SEE why you are so UNINFORMED on this issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Stealing jobs from Americans!?!?!?!? My father had a VERY bad experience at the US border yesterday trying to get into the US for a business meeting that he attends on a regular basis. The meetings are regarding legitimate products that are imported to the US all the time. Border patrol stopped him and partner and put in a room for 3 hours while ripping apart their car. Investigated everything including calling the company for the meeting. Even contacted the Federal Department of Commerce who gave an OK but the border patrol said ‘we don’t give a $hit’. They were eventually denied access to the US for no apparent reason but when asked they were told “You are stealing jobs from Americans” Note: he was professional the whole time. WHAT!?! Story gets better as my father tried (meeting important for the deal) to buy a plane ticket and got stopped before he could get on the plane in 40 min…. the US border guy looked at the ticket and saw that it left in 40 min said “I’ll be right back” and came back 40 min later… OMG! ($1400 down the drain for a dink) Seriously, there was no reason for all of this. My father is an upstanding citizen and has had these legitimate, federally known company business meetings for a long time! Correct me if I’m wrong… USA steal jobs from Canadians and Canadians steal from the USA and we cross border import/export everything… How should he react to this, or what recourse does he have? Oh... he was coming from Canada into the US at Niagrafalls.. He's caucasion.
Haliburton, et al. and the Federal Deficit? Who pays? GDP includes profits made by US corporations operating overseas. US companies who operate factories overseas have their production figures included in GDP figures. I guess it would be possible to increase the nations GDP by off-shoring even more jobs. Anything to get the production numbers up that economists love to talk about. I suppose the CEO's and the low cost workers make all the money on this deal. But when economists talk about the federal deficit being a small percentage of GDP they're never clear about who is going to pay for the federal deficit. Would it be the multinational corporations or the foreign workers?
