Thompson Advances Measure to End Job-Destroying Education Regulation

Bipartisan Coalition Of Members Join in Support

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson today voted in support of House Amendment (H. AMDT.) # 214, a measure to prohibit funds for the Department of Education Regulations on Gainful Employment. The Department of Education’s Gainful Employment regulations are a controversial regulatory process that would impose arbitrary requirements on proprietary schools, deny access to students and undermine the strength of the American workforce.

Thompson has been one of the most outspoken members of Congress on this issue, originally requesting the Department of Education to vacate the proposed regulations in May of 2010.

On September 29, 2010, Thompson spoke to a rally of career college students at the foot of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Thompson told the students, “You have every right to determine your own educational needs. You have every right to determine your future career path and you have every right to make your own destiny.”

H. AMDT. 214, an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Resolution, passed the full House earlier today with bipartisan support by a vote of 289-136.

Floor statement as prepared for delivery:

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of House Amendment # 214.

The president has promoted a policy to have five million new college graduates by 2020. I commend the president for that goal. However, I have to stop and wonder. How are we going to achieve the mission if the Department of Education is going to put up roadblocks such as the proposed rules for gainful employment?

The reality is that, career colleges serve many different purposes for people of all walks of life. This isn’t an issue of black and white, Republican or Democrat. This is an issue of access to education.

I represent a very rural district in Pennsylvania, and many of my constituents don’t have access to a community college and they live a significant distance from any university. My schools have sprung up out of necessity. Many students in Pennsylvania choose these schools because of their convenience. They realize that career colleges offer course work for all types of work to accommodate the busy schedules we all have. They realize that life does not just stop for four years so you can go to a school. They understand these institutions will provide them the skills they need to enter the work force and earn a decent living.

I have concerns that the Department of Education has stepped way beyond its authority and begun the determination of an arbitrary ruling on gainful employment.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. chairman, I ask my colleagues to support this bipartisan amendment.

I yield back my time.

NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER’S NEW BLOG CONSTITUTION DAILY

LAUNCHES WITH LIVE STATE OF THE UNION COVERAGE

Philadelphia, PA (January 24, 2011) – As President Obama delivers his State of the Union Address tomorrow, the National Constitution Center will provide up-to-the-moment coverage and commentary on its new blog, Constitution Daily, which officially launches today at  http://blog.constitutioncenter.org.  The blog views current events through the lens of the Constitution and uses the Center’s unique resources to illuminate the Constitution’s modern relevance, encouraging readers to join in the conversation.

Coverage of the State of the Union Address will include live blogging by National Constitution Center Chief Interpretive Officer Dr. Steve Frank, analysis of the accuracy of the President’s address by FactCheck.org, reader polls, and more.

“No online site will have better experts, stronger analysis, or more timely insights on the increasingly critical role the Constitution plays in public discourse than our blog, Constitution Daily,” said David Eisner, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center.  “And the best part is that our 21^st century format will create a public forum where anyone can engage in a meaningful conversation about constitutional issues.”

Constitution Daily features posts written by the staff of the National Constitution Center, as well as accomplished authors, scholars, and partners.  During the blog’s alpha phase, special guest bloggers included: author and contributor to CNN and The Daily Beast John Avlon; Supreme Court correspondent for the New York Times Adam Liptak; Dr. Rogers M. Smith, the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania; and Geoffrey R. Stone, the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law at The University of Chicago and a Visiting Scholar at the National Constitution Center.

Some of the most viewed posts have included an analysis of the historical accuracy of the popular TV show “Boardwalk Empire” by Prohibition expert and author Daniel Okrent; Pennsylvania First Lady Marjorie O. Rendell’s opinion on the role of education in the civic health of our nation; video commentary on the Wikileaks issue by TIME magazine’s Managing Editor Richard Stengel; and a post connecting the Phillies’ acquisition of pitcher Cliff Lee to the Constitution (through the lens of Major League Baseball’s anti-trust exemption).

In addition, “Publius 2.0,” one of the most popular recurring features on the blog, responded to timely issues such as TSA security procedures, health care, Wikileaks, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and the death penalty.  The series was created by the Center’s Chief Interpretive Officer Dr. Steve Frank, who derived the name Publius 2.0 from the pen-name used by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay when they wrote The Federalist Papers.

Media services consultants Technically Media and the award-winning design firm Happy Cog worked with the Center to develop the editorial strategy and blog platform, respectively.  The blog first launched in an alpha version in August 2010.

DEMOCRATS’ HOUSE DIVIDED

Obama’s Losing Control Of His Party As Congressional Democrats Demand Job Killing Tax Hikes

DEMOCRATS ATTACK PLAN TO HELP ECONOMY

Tax Compromise Will Result In “Open And On-The-Record Taunting About Whether The President Is A Patsy” From Congressional Democrats. “Resentments between President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats that began simmering even before their midterm disaster are nearing the boiling point on Capitol Hill, as liberals make clear that Obama’s efforts to strike a lame-duck deal with Republicans will come at a cost: open and on-the-record taunting about whether the president is a patsy.”  (Jonathan Allen And Josh Gerstein, “Liberal Dems To Obama: Fight Harder,” Politico, 12/7/10)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Statement On the Tax Compromise “Notably Withheld Any Commitment Of Support.” “In a post on Twitter, Pelosi said the GOP provisions in the tax proposal would add to the deficit and help the rich without creating jobs. The GOP provisions ‘help only wealthiest 3%, don’t create jobs & add tens of billions to deficit,’ the Pelosi tweet said. The Speaker expanded on her criticism of the Republican proposals in a statement that notably withheld any commitment of support.” (Russell Berman, Pelosi Attacks Obama-GOP Tax Plan As House Democrats Signal Fight,” The Hill, 12/7/10)

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer Wouldn’t Say If House Leadership Would Whip Votes On The Deal. “House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer today expressed serious reservations with the tax cut framework President Obama reached with Senate Republicans, and declined to say whether his caucus would support the plan or even whether the leadership time would whip votes to ensure that it passes.” (Brian Beutler, “Hoyer: No Dem Agreement On Tax Cuts; Deal Could Still Change,” Talking Points Memo, 12/7/10)

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) Has “Serious Reservations” About The Deal. “‘House Democrats have not signed off on this deal,” Van Hollen said on Bloomberg Television on Tuesday morning. ‘I will meet with our caucus later today to discuss it. I have some serious reservations about parts of this deal. I understand the importance of getting to an understanding, but there are certain elements that I think will cause a great concern to members of our caucus.’” (Jake Sherman, “Van Hollen Has ‘Serious Reservations,” Politico, 12/7/10)

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY): “Memo To Our President : Why Are We Always Punting On 3rd Down? Lets Get Our Offense On The Field.” (Rep. Anthony Weiner, Twitter Feed, 12/6/10)

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA):  “This Is The President’s Gettysburg.” “‘This is the president’s Gettysburg,’ Rep. Jim McDermott, a leading progressive and a subcommittee chairman on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, told POLITICO Monday. Referring to Obama’s choice about whether to compromise or stand firm against Republicans on the question of higher taxes for the wealthy, the Washington Democrat said: “He’s going to have to decide whether he’s going to withstand Pickett’s Charge … I worry.’” (Jonathan Allen And Josh Gerstein, “Liberal De ms To Obama: Fight Harder,” Politico, 12/7/10)
“President Barack Obama’s Deal With Republicans To Extend All Of The Bush-Era Tax Cuts Received An Icy Reception From Senate Democrats, Who Were Clearly Unhappy To Be Asked To Swallow Such A Bitter Pill.” (John Stanton, “Unhappy Democrats Still Digesting Deal Cut By W. H.” Roll Call, 12/7/10)

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) On The Tax Compromise:  “I Want To Support An Active Response Against This Great American Travesty.” “Some, such as Sen. Frank Lautenberg, were openly hostile. Although Lautenberg was still studying the plan, he made clear he may actively work to block the bill. ‘I want to support an active response against this great American travesty,’ the New Jersey Democrat said when asked if he would support a threatened filibuster of the bill by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).”  (John Stanton, “Unhappy Democrats Still Digesting Deal Cut By W. H.” Roll Call, 12/7/10)

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka Said Tax Compromise Was “Unconscionable.” “The AFL-CIO’s president condemned President Obama’s deal on tax cuts as an ‘unconscionable’ giveaway to wealthy interests.  AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka slammed the tax deal and joined the ranks of liberals who have expressed disenchantment with the president for having agreed to the two-year extension of all expiring tax cuts. ‘Two years ago, working Americans had high hopes that we would ultimately emerge from the deep, punishing financial debacle with a sharp focus on a fundamentally stronger, fairer and more balanced economy,’ the labor leader said. ‘Today, that vision has dimmed.’”  (Michael O’Brien, “Labor Calls Tax Deal An ‘Unconscionable’ Giveaway To Wealthy,” The Hill, 12/7/10)

JOB CREATION WILL SUFFER UNDER DEMOCRATS’ TAX HIKE PLAN

“Letting The Bush-Era Tax Cuts Expire For The Top Two Brackets Will Hit Much Of The Nation’s Non-Corporate Business Income, Earnings That Are Highly Productive And Sensitive To Taxation.” (Scott A. Hodge, “Over One-Third Of New Tax Revenue Would Come From Business Income If High Income Tax Cuts Expire,” Special Report No. 185, The Tax Foundation, September 2010)

“It’s Clear That Business Income For Large And Small Firms Will Be Hit By The Higher Tax Rates. And In Point Of Fact, Firms Of All Sizes Contribute To The Nation’s Prosperity.” (Kevin A. Hassert and Allan D. Viard, Op-Ed, “The Small Business Tax Hike And The 97% Fallacy,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/3/10)

According To The Joint Committee On Taxation, 750,000 Small Businesses Will Be Affected By The Democrats’ Tax Hike. (The Staff Of The Joint Committee On Taxation, “Present Law And The President’s Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Proposals Related To Selected Individual Income Tax Provisions Scheduled To Expire Under The Sunset Provisions Of The Economic Growth And Tax Relief Reconciliation Act Of 2001,” Joint Committee On Taxation, 7/12/10)

“According To An NFIB Poll, 75 Percent Of Small Businesses Are Organized As Pass-Through Entities (Sole Proprietors, Partnerships, S Corps, Etc.), Meaning They Pay Taxes On Their Business Income Based On The Individual Tax Rates.” (“Keeping Tax Rates Low,” NFIB, Accessed: 11/22/10)

• Increasing The Top Two Income Tax Rates Will Hit Small Businesses That Employ 25 Percent Of The Workforce. “Raising the tax rates on the top two income brackets also has a negative impact on small business job creation. Based on an NFIB small business survey, the businesses most likely to face a tax increase by raising the top two rates are businesses employing between 20 and 250 employees. According to U.S. Census data, businesses with between 20 and 299 workers employ more than 25 percent of the total workforce.”  (“Keeping Tax Rates Low,” NFIB, Accessed: 11/22/10)

Critz Praises Passage of Legislation to Reduce Childhood Hunger and Obesity

Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act Heads to the President for his Signature

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark S. Critz (PA-12) announced today that Congress has passed the most significant improvements to child nutrition programs in more than 30 years – the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which provides $4.5 billion over the next 10 years to reduce childhood hunger and childhood obesity.

This legislation, which is fully paid for, will improve the nutritional quality of meals to promote children’s health and reduce childhood obesity while increasing access to nutrition programs to reduce childhood hunger.

“Over 31 million children participate in the National School Lunch Program, including over 1.1 million children in Pennsylvania alone,” commented Critz.  “With this important legislation, our kids will benefit from increased resources to improve school meal quality, expanded access to nutritious food, and updated nutrition standards to remove junk food and drinks from school vending machines.”

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed the House 264-157.  It now heads to the President for his signature.

Focusing on Nutrition Quality to Improve Children’s Health and Reduce Childhood Obesity:

• Improves the nutritional quality of school meals by increasing the federal reimbursement rate for school lunches – the first reimbursement rate increase in more than 30 years – helping schools provide children with healthier meals.
• One landmark provision in the bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop science-based nutrition standards for all foods sold on a school campus during the school day – significantly reducing the availability of high calorie junk foods and sugary beverages.
• Connects more children to healthy produce from local farms by helping communities establish farm-to-school programs, create school gardens and use more local foods in school cafeterias.

Improving Access to Child Nutrition Programs to Reduce Childhood Hunger:

• Increases the number of eligible children enrolled in school meals programs by using Medicaid data to directly certify children who meet income requirements.  This provision is estimated to connect about 115,000 new students to the school meal programs.
• Expands the after-school supper program for at-risk children nationwide, by allowing the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) providers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to be reimbursed for providing a meal to at-risk children after school.  This provision is estimated to provide an additional 21 million meals to at-risk children annually.

Department of Health Urges Pennsylvanians to Get Immunized Against Whooping Cough; Clinics Slated in Clarion, Venango Counties

Harrisburg – With some areas of the state seeing an increase in whooping cough, known medically as pertussis, the Department of Health urges all Pennsylvanians, to ensure they are protected against the vaccine-preventable disease.

Starting Nov. 16, the Department will hold public vaccination clinics in Clarion and Venango counties, where cases of pertussis have been rising.

Pertussis is an infection of the respiratory system and is characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a “whooping” sound when the person breathes in.

The pertussis vaccine is recommended for all children. Because immunity from the vaccine fades over time, most adolescents and adults are susceptible to the disease. In addition to the typical childhood series of pertussis immunizations at 2, 4, 6, 15-18 months and a booster at 4-6 years, the Department of Health recommends the adolescent-adult pertussis vaccine, Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis, or Tdap, booster for:

*       individuals 10-64 years of age who are not fully immunized;
*       women of childbearing age, before or immediately after pregnancy;
*       people who have contact with pregnant women or infants too young to have received a full series of vaccinations; and
*       all family members and caregivers of infants.

Individuals should talk to their health care provider to discuss their current vaccine status or request the vaccine.

The first symptoms of whooping cough are similar to those of a common cold including runny nose, sneezing, mild cough and low-grade fever. After about one to two weeks, the dry, irritating cough evolves into coughing spells that can last for more than one minute and can lead to vomiting.

For more information about immunizations, visit www.vaccinesforlife.com<http://www.vaccinesforlife.com> or call 1-877-PA-HEALTH.

Media contact:  Holli Senior, 717-787-1783

Editor’s Note: Public vaccination clinics will be offered in Clarion and Venango counties at the following dates and times:

Clarion County
Nov. 16, 19, and 30
9 – 11:30 a.m.; 1 – 3 p.m.
Clarion County State Health Center

Here at the Commonwealth Foundation, we feel this goes against everything that voters communicated on November 2, when our state rejected overspending and passing on debt to our children and grandchildren. This bill does not “save money,” but defers costs, putting taxpayers at greater risk. Moreover, it is unconstitutional in its present form.
Furthermore, Governor-elect Tom Corbett supports real pension reform, as do a 50% or more of voters of all parties. The only reason to push this bill is union pressure to get it done under a lame-duck administration.

If you would like to inform your readers about this issue that greatly affects our state, several policy experts at Harrisburg’s Commonwealth Foundation are available for media interviews. Click to contact one of them below:

Union Pension Bailout & Generational Theft

Pennsylvania’s largest public pension plans—Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS) and State Employees Retirement System (SERS)—are severely underfunded. But instead of reforming the defined-benefit pension system and paying down these liabilities, House Bill 2497 would defer pension payments and increase the unfunded liability by tens of billions of dollars in lost investments and interest. Simply put, HB 2497 is generational theft—forcing our children and grandchildren to pay for Harrisburg’s fiscal irresponsibility and a union pension bailout.

Just How Large is the Pension Problem?

• Taxpayers paid $843 million in pension contributions to PSERS and SERS in Fiscal Year 2009-10. In Fiscal Year 2012-13 those contributions are scheduled to increase to $5.8 billion.
• This represents an effective $1,360 increase in state and local taxes per homeowner/household.

How Did We Get Into this Mess?

• Pennsylvania’s generous public pensions are leveraged as political capital by politicians with powerful special interests, especially the state and school employee labor unions. Over time, these pensions have been financially manipulated to give the illusion of affordability and sustainability.
• Pensions for public school employees and state employees, including legislators and judges, will require higher taxpayer contributions beginning in 2012 due to:
  • Losses in the stock market in 2001-03 and 2008.
  • Reduced taxpayer contributions as a result of deferring pension payments into the future in 2003 (a mistake HB 2497 would repeat).
  • Generous benefit enhancements—a 50% increase for legislators and 25% for teachers—in 2001.

Why the Urgency to Pass this “Non-Reform”?

• Public employee unions helped craft HB 2497 and have spent millions in lobbying and campaign contributions to push this non-reform.
• HB 2497 offers some benefit changes that some may celebrate as “reform.”
• HB 2497 offers short-term political benefits—lower pension payments—by allowing lawmakers to procrastinate making the necessary tough decisions about how to fund pensions.
• Those pushing the legislation hope to rush it through under lame-duck Gov. Ed Rendell, before a new administration—which would likely support real pension reform—takes office.

Key Facts about HB 2497

• HB 2497 retains the current defined-benefit pension system that is subject to political manipulation and deal making.
  • Politicians claim the bill would “save” money over the next 14 years—but these savings come from paying less into the fund. It is like “saving” money by not paying your monthly mortgage payment.
  • After 14 years of “savings,” taxpayers will have to pay more from 2026-2042.
• HB 2497 dramatically increases the unfunded liability in the pension systems (as shown in the chart from PSERS).
• Taxpayer costs could be much higher because the estimated costs of HB 2497 are based on wishful thinking:
  • The plans will earn 8% per year on their assets (private sector pensions currently use assumptions in the range of 5-6%).
  • Policymakers will adhere to the schedule of increased future contributions, and not defer these once again.
  • There will be no benefit increases or Cost of Living Adjustments.
• HB 2497 would reduce the benefits under the existing pension plan for new hires.
  • While lower benefits reduce future costs, it retains the current system that is ripe for political manipulation. Policymakers can always retroactively improve benefits and defer liabilities.
• HB 2497 creates risk-sharing for new employees who will pay more into the funds with investment losses.
  • This would lower costs over time, but also opens up a dual benefit plan between existing and new employees that will be the focus of future union lobbying.

Why Not A Defined Contribution Retirement Plan for Public Employees?

• Only by moving to a defined-contribution retirement plan, like a 401(k), can we remove the politics from public pensions and give taxpayers more affordable and predictable costs.
• SB 566 would create a defined contribution plan for new employees in which the employer (the state, school districts, and local governments) would contribute 6% of salary into a retirement fund owned by employees. Employees would also contribute 6% of their salaries.
• The Senate legislation has 18 cosponsors and Republican gubernatorial nominee Tom Corbett has campaigned on adopting a defined contribution plan.
• Pennsylvania voters support moving to a defined contribution plan, as most of the private sector already has, according to a poll from April 2010 (see table below).
