Keep funding the Payroll Protection Program to prevent more layoffs. Subsidized rehiring too late give laidoff workers are jobs back and create new incentives for workplace safety. Give k12 schools, colleges and universities funding to reopen safely more money when the House Democrats have proposed. Support Health Care Providers and the latest hotspots and keep supporting the race for vaccines. Provide commonsense Legal Protections so that s schools hospitals and other employers caneo reopen without nefarious lawsuits. Thus we put forward. A trillion dollars for kids, jobs and health care the framework that has more jobs in key areas than the democratic proposal of framework that could have kept the additional federal payments to unemployed workerss deployed instead of expiring this week. It takes 60 votes to legislate so the American People cannot get any of the additional relief that republicans want to r give them unless democrats at least come to the table. Their democratic colleag
Republicans are mired in a fight with one another that has set us on the path towards a devastating Government Shutdown that is now just six days away. A small group of House Republican extremists are continuing to hold up any sort of meaningful action on the matter with their refusal to even consider a short term funding bill, known as a continuing resolution. That is a measure that could realistically be brought to the floor of congress over the next few days before the funding runs out next saturday at midnight. Instead, republican holdouts want to consider each appropriations bill separately. A more time consuming an extensive process that would definitely take more than a week. Ahead of a call with republicans yesterday afternoon, Speaker Mccarthy expressed a bit of hope, telling reporters what he thinks when it gets down to crunch, time the holdouts will, quote hopefully move off. A few hours later, however the louisiana congressman this man here and ally who wasnt struggled in t
Will one dry. It raises the iconic question, are you better off than you were four years ago . The rising answer for our nation is an unequivocal no. Jobs have been lost, hours have been cut, employers have been forced to drop coverage their employees were happy with, premiums have skyrocketed, millions have lost coverage they were happy with. Obamacare has hurt medicare recipients by cutting about 156 billion out of Medicare Advantage. And this cut was a grave miscalculation. Medicare advantage is a shining Success Story that millions of seniors, like my mother, rely on. In short, its a program that allows you to receive your coverage from a private provider using funding from medicare. This has encouraged providers to compete for business by tacking on all sorts of Valueadded Services for seniors. For example, one of the reasons my mother picked her current provider is because in addition to good doctors, they pick her up, and they drive her to her appointment. This sort of competiti
We are dramatically increasing funding for Veterans Health care, including hundreds of millions of dollars to serve veterans a rural areas, as well as the unique needs of our growing number of women veterans. We are restoring access to the a health care for the half of a million veterans who lost eligibility in recent years. Since there has been so much misinformation out there about Health Insurance reform, let me say this, the one thing that reform wont change is Veterans Health care. No one will take away your benefits, that is the plain and simple truth. Host that was the president from five years ago. In may of 2014, what has changed . Or what has not changed . Guest nothing, really. This is a failure to reform and move forward as stated. He said it to us in our convention also, that he would do this along with the secretary, but we just have not seen it happen. Host why . Guest a good point. Every year the money continues to rise. 60 in the last six years. But it is how we spend
National security and americas future. My third suggestion, very simple, very clear, be humble. Stay humble. By virtue of your unique experience here at the Naval Academy, you have much, much to be proud of and confident about. But if confidence gives way to arrogance, both your superiors and subordinates will respond, and it wont come out well for you, nor should it. Humility is about respect. Respect for others. Give credit to others and remember you will never ever know enough, youll never know enough or be as smart or as good as you any you are. Someone else will always have something to teach you. In the wore of one petty officer, lots of enlisted have a lot of pride in what they do. And a little bit of humility on the officers part to be able to say every now and then, i dont know what do you think, goes a long way. These three tools, personal interaction, understanding humility, theyll all help you both personally and professionally. But always remember that the first principle
