Three U.S. ex-presidents denounce the current one in a two-week stretch
Where does this notion come from? How do you propose that the Treasury conducts such a trade? The Treasury doesn't hold any Trust Fund T-bills. The SS trust funds hold those special T-bills. If you're implying that the Treasury had to increase the amount of T-bills sold..... that's completely illogical. The amount of T-bills sold is dependent on the current Federal deficit. The T-bills held by the SS trust funds are indeed helping finance the Federal deficit. But, if SSA didn't buy those special T-bills the Treasury would just sell them to a different investor. The amount of T-bills sold is ALWAYS determined by the Federal budget and SSA's activity as a T-bill buyer has ZERO effect on that amount. As I describe below.. SSA is NOT a part of the Federal budget since 1990. The Treasury has been for decades handing cash to the Trust fund as payment for interest. The cash that the Treasury handed over for 2010 through 2021 was ALL due to interest payable. As far as the Treasury is concerned it matters not wether SS trust funds consider that cash to be interest or capital. 100% incorrect. The SS trust funds are completely isolated from the Federal budget. Every facet of the SSA is completely separate from interaction with the Treasury... except in a very typical lender/borrower relationship. That's why there has not been a single $ (in cash or any other asset class) paid by the Treasury to support SSA. The SSA/Federal budget got mostly divorced in 1986 and completely divorced by 1990. If there were anything but a lender/borrower relationship, a line item in the Federal budget would have to show the allocation of non-FICA tax dollars to the SSA. That hasn't happened except in unusual circumstances such as when the Feds gave taxpayers a break on FICA taxes for a year or two. When that happened the Feds compensated the SSA trust funds for that taxbreak so that OASI balances were not affected. From : https://www.ssa.gov/history/BudgetTreatment.html So, by 1986, Social Security was technically off-budget, but it was still being used in the deficit calculations. Absent other legislative change, this would have continued until 1993. However, in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990 the law was changed to stop the use of the Trust Funds for any function in the unified budget, including calculations of the deficit. One sub-part of OBRA 1990 was called the Budget Enforcement Act (BEA), and it was this sub-part that specified this change in the law. -

Report Thailand’s Medical Cannabis Rules Tighten with Launch of Prescription Form
Only modern medicine & thai traditional doctors for now. The other 5 professions, ie. pharmacists, dentists, Chinese medicine etc are still preparing guidelines. “For diseases or groups of symptoms, originally 15 symptoms were specified, but now they have been removed because they may overlap with each profession. Each professional group is left to specify symptoms, which must follow the guidelines of their profession. Currently, there are 2 professions that have guidelines: the Medical Council, which has had them for the past 2 years, and the Thai traditional medicine profession. As for the other 5 professions, they are in the process of creating guidelines. If they are not finished, they still cannot be implemented,” said Dr. Somruk. When asked about the case of medical cannabis in modern medicine and Thai traditional medicine, what symptoms are accepted? Dr. Somruk said that if modern medicine doctors who are certified have 4 diseases: epilepsy, nausea and vomiting from cancer treatment, nerve pain, and muscle cramps, for Thai traditional medicine, there will be 8 groups of symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, headache, loss of appetite, pain from cancer, etc. Only modern medicine & Thai traditional medicine doctors for now. The other 5 professions are still creating guidelines, ie. dentists, pharmacists, Chinese medicine etc. Appears modern medicine doctors can certify 4 diseases as mentioned above & Thai traditional medicine can certify 8 diseases as mentioned above at this stage until the other 5 professions create guidelines. FYI Asked about the current situation, there are concerns about the trading of cannabis prescriptions. Dr. Somruk said that there really should be no fees, but initially there was a discussion that if there is a charge during this period, it should not exceed 50-100 baht because there are rumors that the price will be as high as 500 baht, which is too expensive and would also violate professional ethics. -

Report Thailand’s Medical Cannabis Rules Tighten with Launch of Prescription Form
This does not represent a revolution in patient care, what this represents is a historic betrayal on the part of the Thai government against mostly younger investors who have been invested billions upon billions in the industry and in dispensaries, with an unjustifiable sense of trust, and a hope that the government would back them on this. This is a pox on the nation. -
