"Today’s Republican Party is dangerously close to abandoning any ability to work on a bipartisan basis.
"At this moment in our nation’s history it is vital that John Boehner sees himself not as the leader of the Republican Party but the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives." - 9 days until the Federal Unemployment Insurance program ends and 2 million people lose this vital lifeline while they look for work and House Republicans are wasting precious time debating a bill that is silent on UI and provides a $50,000 tax cut to the very wealthiest instead of negotiating a comprehensive and balanced solution with the President. Here is Ranking Member Rep Sandy Levin floor statement from today.
- Check out Ways and Means Ranking Member Rep Sandy Levin's op-ed in todays USA TODAY on why we need to extend the middle class tax cuts.
"Middle- and lower-income Americans have been bearing the brunt of our nation's economic malaise, and f...iscal condition, for years. No one is suggesting that dealing with the deficit won't require contributions from all Americans. But it is essential that in grappling with the "fiscal cliff," and beyond, we keep in mind the challenges confronted by the American middle class in recent decades and the unprecedented prosperity enjoyed by a very small minority at the top.
"We must end the tax cuts for those at the very top and extend them for everyone else."See More - The truth about Speaker Boehner's "plan B" is it would increase middle class taxes by $250 million while cutting taxes an average of $50,000 for millionaires.
- Today Congressional Democrats held an event with unemployed workers on the urgent need to extend the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program. Without Congressional action, more than two million Americans will be cut off f...ederal unemployment insurance completely on December 29th.
Thank you to all who have shared your stories, which are helping to put a human face on the EUC. At the press conference, Rep Sandy Levin said, “The problem is that for too many two million is just a number, instead of two million individuals with stories. I have no doubt that if the stories could be told, this institution would live up to its responsibilities.”See More - Today, Rep Sandy Levin joined President Obama at The White House as he signed the Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal Act of 2012. This bill will increase the opportunities for export of American made products and services, and enable us to enforce World Trade Organization rules that Russia has agreed to follow.
- It's time for Speaker Boehner to #DoTheRightThing and pass the middle class tax cuts. Americans need the Republicans to stop blocking a vote to extend middle class tax cuts and which would not extend the tax cuts for the top two percent.
- Today Rep Sandy Levin and Congressman Jim McDermott introduced a bill that would modernize, streamline, and strengthen U.S. Customs and Border Patrol trade functions.
H.R. 6656 includes stronger enforcement measures, requires the collecti...on of additional security where there is reason to believe an importer is evading U.S. trade remedy laws, and seeks increased funding for U.S. Trade Representative including additional resources to strengthen the enforcement of U.S. trade agreements.See More - A "revised" report by the Congressional Research Service debunks the favorite talking point of House Republicans finding that there’s no link between tax cuts for the wealthy and economic growth. In the updated report the CRS wrote: “The results of the analysis suggest that changes over the past 65 years in the top margin rate and the top capital gains tax rate do not appear correlated with economic growth.”
- CBS This Morning was live from the Ways and Means Committee hearing room today. Here's Nancy Pelosi discussing Democratic opposition to raising the Medicare eligibility age.
- Must read op-ed by @Nancy Pelosi in USA TODAY.
"We can do better -- and we have. Democrats are the only ones who have enacted a plan that extends the solvency of Medicare without cutting benefits through the Affordable Care Act." - Check out Rep Sandy Levin on CNBC this morning. "We have to pass the middle class tax cuts."
