...Dakota to, at the bare minimum, allow for coverage to our state’s young people who are pursuing higher education. In this report I will be reviewing the history of Social Service programs and the amendments made to them in the United States and South Dakota. The parties involved include the Federal government, the South Dakota Legislature and the citizens of South Dakota. The report will be a chronological history. Origins of Social Welfare for Medical Care The American Association of Labor Legislation (AALL) was formed in 1906 and their committee on social welfare drafted a bill in 1915 that outlined coverage to the working and low income classes. It included coverage for hospital and doctor care as well as maternity coverage and sick pay. The issue was highly debated for many years but eventually it was abandoned by the end of World War I (Palmer, 1999). Modern Community Health Program coverage has it’s beginnings in the Social Security Bill passed in 1935. That bill established the Medicare and Medicaid programs that are still in effect today. Medicaid was set up as a way to provide coverage for the disabled and some poor with the costs to be shared by the federal and state budgets. Each state has the...

...American Politics Final Exam Questions 1. In the design of the United States government, Congress was given the legislative power. It "makes the laws" for the nation. a. What procedure does the Constitution require for Congress to make law? Article I of the Constitution "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." The House and Senate are equal partners in the legislative process––legislation cannot be enacted without the consent of both chambers. First, any bill for raising money (such as by taxes or fees) must start out in the House. All bills must pass both houses of Congress in the exact same form. Bills that pass both houses are sent to the President. He can either sign the bill, in which case it becomes law, or he can veto it. In the case of a veto, the bill is sent back to Congress, and if both houses pass it by a two-thirds majority, the bill becomes law over the President's veto. b. Describe the legislative process utilized today, above and beyond the Constitutional requirements. The general process for making a bill into law is described in the Constitution. First, a bill needs to be drafted. You do not need to be a member of congress to draft a bill. For example lobbyists and other congressional staff can draft a bill, but only a member of congress can introduce legislation. Bills then get referred to standing committees. Once referred, the bill...

...Some states such as Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and North Dakota have ‘caps’ placed on their colleges, in an attempt to control the percentage of how much these colleges can increase their tuition per year. Not all states are required to have this, which allows them to increase their prices at extreme rates or however they may choose, like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota (Kelchen 4). State governments may also be responsible due to any decreases that may occur when they are deciding their budget on how much to fund state universities. The less money the state chooses to provide to the college, the more students have to pay for their...

...Reconstruction: The process of reestablishing the union to again include the seceded states began during the war and lasted until 1877. Abraham Lincoln believed secession was unconstitutional, and so legally, the Southern states were still in the union. He believed the executive branch, particularly the president, should establish the process of reconstruction and the terms should be generous. As the union army gained control of seceded states such as Tennessee, Lincoln appointed military governors and was prepared to recognize a new state government once 10 percent of the state’s 1860 voting population swore allegiance to the union. Members of congress in 1864 presented their own much less generous plan, but Lincoln did not sign the bill, angering the radical or extreme Republican in congress. Republican in Congress, more interested in punishing the south than Lincoln was bristled at Lincoln’s leniency. In opposition to Lincoln’s plan they passed the Wade-Davis bill, which would have allowed a southern state back into the union only after 50 percent of the population had taken the loyalty oath. Furthermore, to earn the right to vote or to serve in a constitutional convention, southerners would have to take a second oath, called the iron-clad oath that testified that they had never voluntarily aided or abetted the rebellion. Lincoln vetoed the bill, but the battle about reconstruction continued. On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot in the back of the head while watching a...

...1.0 Market Analysis 1.1 Industry The energy shot industry is relatively new and is experiencing exponential growth. According to bevindustry.com, sales of energy shots have increased by 39 percent to a total of $780.7 million for the 52 weeks ending June 13, 2010. This growth can be attributed to greater product awareness as well as high satisfaction with these shots leading to increased consumption. The growth is expected to continue, as Mintel International forecasts energy shot sales to increase 147 percent in current prices from 2010 through 2015. This swelling growth will push energy shot manufacturers to compete at an even higher level than they are currently operating at. Shots Energy Energy Drinks Beverages Functional Beverages Figure 1 Prior to 2004, consumers in search of an energy beverage could choose between a few alternatives—soda, coffee and energy drinks. These choices have their drawbacks. The average calorie content in a 12oz can of soda is around 150. Coffee can leave a person jittery as well as stain the teeth. Energy drinks provide a pick-me-up but leave the consumer to crash once the initial effects wear off. When defining the relevant market, figure 1 explains different choices a consumer has the option of purchasing. The top section is beverages. The second relevant section is generic drinks. The third section is energy drinks and the final is energy shots. All these problems led the company, Living Essentials...

...Employment Laws: Small Business Compliance Thresholds Federal regulations can be terribly confusing, particularly because they often have different definitions for the size of a “small” business that is exempt from the law. If you operate a small business, use the following list to make sure you’re not spending time and money complying with laws that only apply to larger businesses. Note: Many states have set lower thresholds. Always check with your state labor agency. (See list below.)

These thirty-seven words make up the civil rights law Title IX, which is widely known for reforming athletics, although it is never directly mentioned. First, the detailed history shows how many people worked rigorously to get the law passed. Furthermore, Title IX’s numerous tests show how verify schools complying with the law. Lastly, Title IX has increased the participation of women in athletics significantly over the past forty years. Title IX, the controversial federal civil rights act, has shaped athletics to how they are today by creating equal opportunities for female athletes. Flashback forty-one years to before Title IX changed the lives girls and women forever. Girls were not encouraged to play sports at a young and scholarships were not available for women to play athletics in college.

Graph 1.1 ii. Graph 1.2 iii. Graph 1.3 viii. References Introduction It was May of 1984 in Gateshead, England when Tesco recorded the first ever-online shopping transaction from a home . Tesco is the second largest retailer in the world after Wal-Mart, based on profits . This single transaction would pave the way towards a society that relies on the virtual store as opposed to a traditional brick and mortar setting. The convenience and accessibility that the virtual market provides has consequently provided inconveniences in other areas. State and federal governments have been steadily suffering from budget short falls. E-Commerce has diverted business from the mom and pop stores to companies such as Amazon.com and Overstock.com. Small businesses have closed and the land that they once occupied now sits vacant, with no one paying the respective land and sales taxes that the business once generated. The closing of smaller, local retailers has, in retrospect, paved the way for the expansion of e-commerce and the exponential growth that has been realized over the last decade. Current legislation and lack of regulation have limited the potential for federal and state governments to cash in on these lost revenues. I chose Amazon.com as my subject for this paper. The reasoning...

...Dr. Curt Barr, who works at Creighton University and has owned numerous pharmacies. The biggest issues that Obamacare poses are the Medicare budget cuts, the employer mandate, and the increasing amount of money our nation spends on health care. Dr. Barr and I had some suggestions that could help people transition to Obamacare better and have a better understanding about their own health care. For our research papers, my group was lucky enough to meet with Dr. Curt Barr. Dr. Barr is a Creighton University graduate and received his pharmacy degree in 1974. He comes from a family of doctors and initially wanted to be a physician as well, but could not get into medical school. There was a need for pharmacists at the time, and Creighton accepted him into their Pharmacy School, without him even applying. He was either going to move to Kansas City to accept a managerial job or accept Creighton’s Pharmacy School offer. He decided that he would try out pharmacy school and ended up thoroughly enjoying it. Dr. Barr is extremely friendly and has a great sense of humor. He made all of us feel very comfortable and answered all of our questions without any hesitation. Dr. Barr is approachable and very knowledgeable when it comes to health care and pharmacy related issues. When Dr. Barr graduated as a pharmacist, he opened a pharmacy in Blair, Nebraska. After his first pharmacy, he opened more pharmacies in Omaha as well. He sold most of his pharmacies and only owns one as of now. He has worked...

...three, with anticipation of greater spending in the years ahead. While the overall amount of spending has been increasing as a result of a stronger economy, there has been a surplus of oil and petroleum drilling. Given the lower demand for drilling, the oil and petroleum industry has been greatly affected with Exxon Mobil reporting lower profits, and BP has been reporting a loss, with anticipation of mass layoffs ahead. (Krauss, 2016) Fiscal Policy, Tax Rates, and the Economy Roughly 35-36% of our total government spending accounts for the gross domestic product (GDP). After the government bailout funding for banking and stimulating the economy with an additional $700B after 2008, over 42% of the annual GDP was of government spending. Federal income tax hovering between 16.8-17.2% for median class income has been consistent for the past several years. “Today's government spending levels are indeed too high, at least relative to the average level of tax revenue the government has generated over the past 60 years. Unless Americans are willing to radically increase the amount of taxes they pay relative to GDP, government spending must be cut.” (Blodget, 2011) While the fiscal policy since 2014 has demonstrated a marginal increase of spending, forecasters and analysts are expecting a plateau of 38% as the overall economy has been strengthening...
