In the first post in this series, I showed that to honestly bankroll America's two biggest entitlements--Medicare and Social Security--we would have to impose the equivalent of a 100% tax on all U.S. household wealth.
As a recent McKinsey report said, "The gaps in education by income in the U.S. impose the economic equivalent of a permanent national recession".
I refer not only to the fast-track timetable decreed by Gov. George E.

The result has imposed the juridical equivalent of "guilty until proven innocent" on any manufacturer seeking permission to introduce a product into the marketplace, demanding that public protection from potential harm be placed ahead of commercial interests.
Since both problems (14) and (15) can be reduced to convex problems, their solutiona can be found imposing the KKT conditions to the equivalent problems ([26], pp. 243 244) and [28].
In this case, transforming the local coordinate into the global one is equivalent to imposing the transposition/inversion with respect to the above rotation matrix.
In that case, if { e 1, e 2, e 3 } is a fixed reference frame in R 3 and T ( t ) = { A ( t ) e 1, A ( t ) e 2, A ( t ) e 3 } is a moving frame, our assumption is equivalent to imposing the requirement that the angular velocity of T is the zero vector.
Deletion of a complex is equivalent to imposing the complex balancing condition on it, i.e., the condition that the net inflow into the complex is equal to the net outflow from it.
While tobacco taxes were the "most cost-effective way to reduce tobacco use", WHO coordinator for tobacco and economics Jeremias Paul said only a few mostly European countries have imposed the ideal rate – equivalent to 75% of the retail price.
