  • The American Dream Is Not Dead: (But Populism Could Kill
    The American Dream Is Not Dead (But Populism Could Kill It) Michael R. Strain Arthur F. Burns Scholar in Political Economy Director of Economic Policy Studies American Enterprise Institute What do we mean by “the American Dream?” • The freedom to choose how to live your own life. • To have a “good life,” including a good family, meaningful work, a strong community, and a comfortable retirement. • To own a home. What do we mean by “the American Dream?” • A key part of the dream is based on economic success and upward mobility (loosely defined). 1. Are my kids going to be better off than I am? 2. Am I doing better this year than last year? 3. Can a poor kid grow up to become a billionaire or president? The national conversation assumes that American Dream is dead “Sadly, the American dream is dead.” — Donald Trump, June 2015 “There was once a path to a stable and prosperous life in America that has since closed off. It was a well-traveled path for many Americans: Graduate from high school and get a job, typically with a local manufacturer or one of the service industries associated with it, and earn enough to support a family. The idea was not only that it was possible to achieve this kind of success, but that anyone could achieve it—the American dream. That dream defines my family’s history, and its disappearance calls me to action today.” — Marco Rubio, December 2018 The national conversation assumes that American Dream is dead “Across generations, Americans shared the belief that hard work would bring opportunity and a better life.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • December 4, 2020 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell the Honorable
    December 4, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leaders McConnell and Schumer: We write to express our support for addressing upcoming physician payment cuts in ongoing legislative negotiations. We believe these cuts will further strain our health care system, which is already stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and jeopardize patient access to medically necessary services over the long-term. On December 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2021. The fee schedule includes several positive attributes, including improvements for maternity care and much-needed payment increases for physicians delivering primary and other essential outpatient and office-based care to some of our nation’s most vulnerable patients. These changes should take effect on January 1, 2021, as planned. However, a statutory budget neutrality rule requires that any increases in Medicare payments for these office visits, also known as evaluation and management (E/M) services, must be offset by corresponding decreases. As a result, many practitioners including surgeons, specialists, therapists and others face substantial cuts beginning on January 1, 2021, if Congress does not take action to provide relief. Health care professionals across the spectrum are reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 emergency as they continue to serve patients during this global pandemic. The payment cuts finalized by CMS would pose a threat to providers and their patients under any circumstances, but during a pandemic the impact is even more profound.

  • August 19, 2021 the Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General
    August 19, 2021 The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Dear Attorney General Garland: We write to request an update on the status of Special Counsel John Durham’s inquiry into the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation. Two years ago, your predecessor appointed United States Attorney John Durham to conduct a review of the origins of the FBI’s investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 United States presidential election. Mr. Durham was later elevated to special counsel in October 2020 so he could continue his work with greater investigatory authority and independence. The Special Counsel’s ongoing work is important to many Americans who were disturbed that government agents subverted lawful process to conduct inappropriate surveillance for political purposes. The truth pursued by this investigation is necessary to ensure transparency in our intelligence agencies and restore faith in our civil liberties. Thus, it is essential that the Special Counsel’s ongoing review should be allowed to continue unimpeded and without undue limitations. To that end, we ask that you provide an update on the status of Special Counsel Durham’s inquiry and that the investigation’s report be made available to the public upon completion. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Marsha Blackburn Mitch McConnell United States Senator United States Senator Pat Toomey Rick Scott United States Senator United States Senator Bill Hagerty Rand Paul United States Senator

    July 21, 2021 TRUMP LEADS IN EARLY 2024 NH GOP NOMINATION RACE BUT OVERALL REMAINS UNPOPULAR IN NH By: Sean P. McKinley, M.A. [email protected] Zachary S. Azem, M.A. 603-862-2226 Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. cola.unh.edu/unh-survey-center DURHAM, NH - Nearly half of likely 2024 Republican primary voters in New Hampshire currently support former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presiden al nomina on and a majority say Trump was one of the best presidents in history. However, Trump's favorability among Granite Staters overall has fallen and most don't want him to run again. Florida Governor Ron DeSan s has the second highest support for 2024. These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll*, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. One thousand seven hundred and ninety-four (1,794) Granite State Panel members completed the survey online between July 15 and July 19, 2021. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 2.3 percent. Included in the sample were 770 likely 2024 Republican Primary voters (margin of sampling error +/- 3.5 percent). Data were weighted by respondent sex, age, educa on, and region of the state to targets from the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as party registra on levels provided by the NH Secretary of State and 2020 elec on results in NH. Granite State Panel members are recruited from randomly-selected landline and cell phone numbers across New Hampshire and surveys are sent periodically to panel members.

  • Bloomberg 1/13/21, 9:58 AM GOP Lawmakers Hit by Boardroom Backlash for Bid to Undo Election Gregory Korte
    US Companies Cut Off Donations to Republicans Who Rejected Biden Certification - Bloomberg 1/13/21, 9:58 AM GOP Lawmakers Hit by Boardroom Backlash for Bid to Undo Election Gregory Korte LISTEN TO Major U.S. corporations are punishing Republicans in ARTICLE Congress who tried to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory, vowing to pull their campaign contributions after a right-wing mob stormed the U.S. Capitol last week. The rapid retreat of financial support played out in an unprecedented series of announcements that began last week and picked up critical mass over the weekend and on Monday. They came from nearly every sector, stretching from Wall Street to the Texas oil patch to Silicon Valley. Among the first to pull contributions from the objecting Republicans were https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-11/dow-marriott-lead-boardroom-backlash-on-congress-vote-objectors Page 1 of 5 US Companies Cut Off Donations to Republicans Who Rejected Biden Certification - Bloomberg 1/13/21, 9:58 AM the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Marriott International Inc. and Dow Chemical Co. They were quickly followed by Goldman Sachs Group, Airbnb, American Express Co., General Electric Co., MasterCard Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T, Inc., Best Buy Co. and Comcast Corp. Kansas City-based Hallmark Inc. went even further, demanding that two local GOP senators -- Josh Hawley of Missouri and Roger Marshall of Kansas -- give the greeting-card company’s money back. Hawley and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have faced the harshest reactions for their continued false claims that there was evidence of widespread fraud in the Nov.
