programs go back many years in their enactment, such as the Social Security Act of 1935, when the U.S. had the foresight to help aid in retirement of older workers (and that was post-Depression and pre-WWII). Some of these programs are efficient, such unemployment insurance (even though it should last longer), and some are not, such as Medicare (seniors still have to purchase supplemental insurance or pay out-of-pocket costs).

It stirs up a few giggles out of my family and I when we see her staring…

“Unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene are responsible for almost 4% of the global total in disability adjusted life years (DALYS) and almost 6% of the total attributable DALYs in high-mortality countries (WHO 2002).” In this scientific paper, I will discuss the neurological effects of lead contamination in public water through a series of case studies in the hopes of urging the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to place stricter regulation on the EPA in monitoring lead pollution of…
