This episode covers immigration, Social Security, income taxes, and workers' compensation/protection insurance. The reason we are tackling four at once is that they are all connected and can all be improved by changing a couple of things. By improved, I mean that Immigration can be conducted humanely and be beneficial to the US and immigrants, and that Social Security insurance can be bolstered so that the fund is solvent and growing each year, rather than going into the red. Income taxes can be reduced for lower-income households while still increasing the federal reserve's revenue. Workers’ compensation, unemployment, and disability insurance can all cover everyone, and all three can do so at a lower cost per person.

This webcast is about housing and federal insurance. It also involves bringing water to a thirsty world and controlling flooding in other parts of the world. I will also go over insurance and building design for a changing environment. Let’s start with the NFIP, which is the US flood insurance program. It is designed to provide flood insurance for buildings in areas where other insurers won’t cover them. The US government subsidizes the program with billions of dollars a year. In other words, the insurance premiums from the insured properties fall short by billions of dollars every year. There is also FEMA, which spends an additional 30 billion per year on flood and other damage.
