DESCRIPTION:Globally, the economic impact of the TransAtlantic Trade in Human Cargo 
 remains an open secret to many global citizens.\n\nAfter a very public 
 execution of George Floyd on Memorial Day and the day the Organization for 
 African Unity was established, ongoing global demonstrations have changed 
 in a profound way.\n\nThe United States Senate nearly passed with Unanimous 
 Concent a National Juneteenth Federal Holiday, save one lone vote of 
 dissent, awaiting a CBO score for the financial consideration to the 
 Federal Budget.\n\nSince 1442, with Holy Roman Catholic Church Papal 
 direction, Spanish and Portuguese Military expositions into Africa captured 
 prisioners of war.\n\nIn 1492, Queen Isabela financed Christopher Columbus 
 notion of expanding trade by sailing west.  His failed and challenges 
 assertions did establish wanton exploitation of the Western Hemispherew 
 with captured Pan African free labor at an unaccounted for cost.\n\nToday, 
 the US Congressional Budget Office is tasked with creating a score for a 
 Federal Juneteenth Holiday.  Soon come with a broader conversation of 
 methodology and consideration of cost will be essential.\n\nPhillip Swagel 
 became the 10th Director of the Congressional Budget Office on June 3, 
 2019. Previously, he was a professor at the University of Maryland’s 
 School of Public Policy and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise 
 Institute and the Milken Institute. He has also taught at Northwestern 
 University, the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, and 
 Georgetown University. His research has involved financial market reform, 
 international trade policy, and China’s role in the global 
 economy.\n\nFrom 2006 to 2009, Dr. Swagel was Assistant Secretary for 
 Economic Policy at the Treasury Department, where he was responsible for 
 analysis of a wide range of economic issues, including policies relating to 
 the financial crisis and the Troubled Asset Relief Program. He has also 
 served as chief of staff and senior economist at the Council of Economic 
 Advisers in the White House and as an economist at the Federal Reserve 
 Board and the International Monetary Fund. He earned his Ph.D. in economics 
 from Harvard University and his A.B. in economics from Princeton 
 University.\n\nDr. Phillip Swagel became the 10th Director of the
