$$$ Hundreds Of Billions For Universal Health Care Reform In America

Our dear president has made universal health care reform the cornerstone of his ''New Foundation'' for America.

UHC is not new to the world or to continental America. Other nations and the state of Hawaii have gov. funded UHC. This blog will not examine the relative medical and social merits of a gov. funded UHC system vs. medial insurence run by ''the private sector.'

The McCain plan gives tax credits and allows individuals to select their own health plan. This is a great health plan for John and Cindy McCain who are super rich. How about Americans who don't make enough money to pay taxes?

The Obama plan taxes the upper class to pay the medical costs of Americans who do not have a health plan.Obama wants to create a gov.funded health plan to compete with ''private sector'' health plans.

The problem with the Obama approach as we see it is that it tries to fix one sub-system at a time. After spending hundreds of billions to fix health care the gov. needs to spend more hundreds of billions to house and feed the homeless, then spend more hundreds of bilions to re-train and create new employment opportunities for the jobless, then spend more hundreds of billions to prop up the social security system, etc.

We are for curing the problem holisticly.If our whole socio-economic system is sick, how can we expect healthy sub-systems? Our socio-economic system is based on inequality, on risk taking plus greed, on more&more is better&better, on conspicuous consumption, on becoming rich and famous, on using credit cards and subprime mortgages to keep up with the upper class, on deceptive manipulations and corruption, on the sociopathic ''Bernie Mad-Off Syndrome'', and so on. You know what I mean. You live here too.

We are for curing our socio-economic system holisticly. We need to cange our mind set; look and think about money and government in a new way.

Switch to a socio-eco classless society. this is not ''Socialism'.'' This is ''Therapeutic Capitalism'' with a ceiling and a floor on personal income and a legal distinction between personal income and business income. A socio-eco system which allows one American to accumulate 45 Billion and at the same time another American may not have 45 Cents is not a good socio-eco system in my blog and don't give me the crap about ''charity.''

Switch to a totally electronic currency system. Every financial transaction will be recorded. This will do away with crimes for money,e.g.,the illegal drug trade.

Electronic Money aka Emoney is defined here as grant stimuli created by governments to provide opportunities for citizens to realize their needs, interests, talents, visions and dreams consistent with societal requirements. If there are already ten grocery stores on one block in one neighborhood, there may not be a societal need for one more.

Do away with the spurious distinction between ''Public Service'' and ''Private Sector.'' Either you are making a contribution to others in our society or you're not.

SCOHEN305 has been bloging his head off about these issues in other blogs. Read them. Let me know what you think.

The New World Order According To Pope Benedict XVI

Thank God this born jewish psychologist, scohen305, made a difference. A copy of BUILDING A NEW WORLD ORDER and THE NEWORLD FOUNDATION OF INTERFAITH was sent to Pope Benedicy XVI and to other world leaders.

The quotations from Pope Benedict's recent encyclical are from an article by David Gibson titled ''The Pope Is A Liberal. Who Knew?'',AOL On Line, Politics Daily, posted 7/7/09, filed under Religion, Faith 'n values.

''The Pope...rigorously and consistently applies the Golden Rule to economies and finance, calling for greater regulation of the markets and--get this--'a true world political authority' that can put 'real teeth' into international governance....'To manage the global economy ...to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarentee the protection of the enviroment and to regulate migration: for all of this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority.' ''

SCOHEN305 urges people of all faiths to meditate on Pope Benedict's recent encyclical.

There is one outstanding question: Who will regulate the global regulators? Who will regulate the new world political authority with teeth?

My answer in this blog and in previous blogs is (1) a new world constitution, (2) a global bill of human rights and (3) the checks and balances of the democratic process will regulate the regulators.

These are the same regulators that regulate the federal government of the USA. The checks and balances inherent in our constitution and in our bill of humanrights and the checks and balances inherent in the democratic process regulate the federal government of the USA.

The relationship of the federal government of the USA to the individual states of the USA,in a socio-economic classless America, could be the model for the creation of our coming democratic new world government of the united nations.

SCOHEN305 was happy to learn that leaders of at least two dozen nations are now showing up regularly at ''G8'' meetings.

Pres. Franklin D. Roosvelt Is My Hero Too

''F.D.R.'s Lessons For Obama'' is form David Kennedy's article,Time Magazine On Line, July 3,2009.

SCOHEN305 adds: F.D.R.'s lessons for Obama are also lessons for building a new world order. What the world needs now is good government; not more government ot less government or no government.

''All the major New Deal reforms that endured had a common purpose: not simply to end the immediate crises of the depression but also to make America in the f

uture a less risky place, to temper for generations thereafter what F.D.R called the 'hazards and vicissitudes' of life. By creating the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the New Deal provided more confidence to bank depositors. With the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it guarenteed more reliable information for investors. The Federal Housing Administration gave more protection to mortgage lenders and thus more options to home buyers. The National Labor Relations Board brought more stability to dealings between capital and labor. The Fair Labor Standards Act ensured more predictable wages for the most vulnerable workers. Social Security offered at least a minimal safety net for the unemployed and elderly....He aimed not merely to end the crises at hand but to forestall similar calamities in the future, and thereby to build a country,as he once said, in which no one is left out.' ''

Scohen305 ends this blog with what he believes to be a meaningful tweet for our times: We need a new way of looking at money and government for America and our global village. My previous blogs have started brainstorming in this direction.

Notes From The Couch Of A PsySocial Analyst

--Why do Blogers who blog their free speech on line use pseudo names? Why don't they identify themselves? Why don't they use their real names? What are they a-Freud of? It seems Schizo to me.

--Do you know what I mean by the sociopathic ''Bernie Mad-Off Syndrome''?

--Our dear president, who pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, now says he is concerned that his daughter's freinds may no longer like and love them for their selves? Why is our president concerned that his daughter's freinds will like them only&truly for their fame&fortune? Is this normal paranoia?

--Our government gives trillions of dollars to banks and businesses while the homeless and hungry population in America increases. Why did our president as campaign candidate tell us he is against trickle down economics? Why does our president now identify himself with the upper class?

--''UNITED WE SERVE''? Mr. President, are you joking? Can our president's cool good humor cure our recession and depression?
