The Taxation of Capital and Labor Through the Self-Employment Taxreport
Since 1950, self-employed individuals have been covered by the Social Security system. In many regards, their obligation to pay Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) taxes into the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) and Hospital Insurance (HI) trust funds and their entitlement to Social Security and Medicare benefits parallel those of workers who are not self-employed and who thus are covered under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the federal government has spent more than half a trillion dollars on homeland security—that is, activities that detect, deter, protect against, and respond to terrorist acts occurring within the United States and its territories. Those activities are carried out by numerous federal agencies and include many, but not all, of the responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

S. 1735, a bill to approve the transfer of Yellow Creek Port properties in Iuka, Mississippicost estimate
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee Environment and Public Works on July 25, 2012 S. 1735 would authorize the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to convey certain federal properties to the state of Mississippi. Enacting S. 1735 would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply to the bill. CBO estimates, however, that the net impact on direct spending would be insignificant over the 2013-2022 period. Enacting S. 1735 would not affect revenues or spending subject to appropriation. |
