PETE AGUILAR [D-FONTANA] GETS TAX CREDITS PAID FOR BY TAKING FUNDS FROM SOCIAL SECURITY – BOB CONAWAY HAS HAD ENOUGH & ANNOUNCES RUN FOR 31st CONGRESSIONAL SEAT

PETE AGUILAR [D-FONTANA] GETS TAX CREDITS PAID FOR BY TAKING FUNDS FROM SOCIAL SECURITY – BOB CONAWAY HAS HAD ENOUGH & ANNOUNCES RUN FOR 31st CONGRESSIONAL SEAT
.
Consolidated Appropriations Act into H.R. 2029 tax package passed 318-109, with 241 Republicans — virtually the entire GOP Conference — and surprisingly (to some who aren't watching)  Congressman Pete Aguilar (CD-31) voted for [with his republican buds Paul Cook (CD-08) and Pete Knight (CD-25)]. So what say some? The bill voted on by Aguilar took $150 billion from the Social Security Trust Fund–WHY???
.
So Aguilar’s, Cook’s and Knight’s  buds will get tax credits of $622 billion over the next 10 years while our local senior voters get the financial shaft.
.
Aguilar, who will get his automatic Congressman's salary raise this year, seems to have forgotten that social security recipients received NO Cost Of Living (C.O.L.A.) increase for 2016 AND the fact that since H.R. 2029 is a TWO YEAR appropriations bill, there will be no cost of living increase in 2017 for Social Security recipients, already facing increases in premium for Part B coverages.
.
Bad vote Pete, Paul and Steve. For Pete, bad company to keep and a fraud to those 17% of the registered voters who elected him (the turnout in 2014 was a paltry 34% despite the campaign and its supporters spending $2.2 million to get out the vote).
.
The bill republican push for the bill was to lift the longstanding ban to export U.S. oil–too bad Aguilar, Cook and Knight know little about oil exports. Alaskan crude has been shipped to the far east for a long time. With oil at a 10 year low and with our ally Turkey helping ISIS flood the world market with stolen which is further depressing price per barrel, does anyone have a clue what they are doing? Flooding the world market with more oil will bring down the value of energy stocks, upon which many retiree's pensions are based.
.
Pete Aguilar’s attack on seniors does not stop there. Pete Aguilar (again joining republican Paul Cook and Steve Knight) voted for H.R. 1470 (also called H.R. 2) which (1) Limits choice of physicians in traditional Medicare, (2) Imposes a deductible that cannot be covered by MediGap Insurance to try and force patients to join a private plan (where there is no control over premium and a limit to the doctors seniors can chose from), (3) raises Medicare’s costs by driving more patients into private Medicare plans [setting up in effect a voucher system, which will be fixed by what Congress wants to pay, leaving increases in premium in the future something for the seniors to pick up].
.
Heh, Pete’s, Paul’s and (the other) Pete’s medical coverage are paid for by the taxpayer–what does he care about seniors?
.
Seniors can't trust Pete Aguilar. I am a senior. I need to find a way to retire him before he does more damage.

    1. Sign me up. His machinations have never set well with me, and these place him squarely in the "enemy" camp for this senior!
