Paul Cook's "Child Tax Credit" bill vote [HR4935] will cost add $100 billion to our national deficit while increasing taxes paid by 11 million lower income families so well heeled families earning over $150,000 net can have a bigger tax credit-Say What?

Bob Conaway (candidate for Congress -CA-08) joins the Administration [http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/legislative/sap/113/saphr4935h_20140724.pdf] in opposing H.R. 4935 (mislabeled as a Child Tax Credit bill).
.
Why?
.
First, HR 4935 would add nearly $100 billion to deficits over 10 years to expand the Child Tax Credit to benefit households with net incomes over $150,000, while slashing or eliminating benefits for lower income working families.  HR 4935 effectively eliminates the Child Tax Credit for 5 million families, while cutting it for 6 million more. A single parent with two children working full-time at minimum wage would lose her entire tax credit of $1,725.
.
Meanwhile, a couple with two children with income of $150,000 would receive a Child Tax Credit $2,200 larger than today. After 2017, H.R. 4935 would eliminate the Child Tax Credit for millions of American children whose parents immigrated to this country, including U.S. citizen children and“Dreamers,” and would push many of these children into or deeper into poverty.
.
Second, while Bob Conaway and the Administration strongly support tax relief for working and middle-class families, H.R.
4935, by eliminating the tax credit for working families with children, is in effect raising taxes for those millions of struggling working families, a struggle Cook does not care about.
.
Solution:  If Paul Cook wants to show he and his buds are serious about helping working families through the Child Tax Credit, they should start by extending the current provisions past 2017.
.
Using popular programs to bury tax increases to the lower income working families will become law if the Republicans retain the House and win the Senate. Voting on November 4, 2014 will add your views to the public policy dialogue.

Paul Cook's "Yeah" Vote on HR 5078 Will Endanger Public Waters & Blocks Rulemaking Efforts to Protect Our Public Waters by Non-Partisan Professionals

On September 9, the US House of Representatives voted 262 to 152 to approve HR 5078 as an attempt to block the Clean Water Act protection rule-making underway by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
.
Bob Conaway says that "Paul Cook (CA-08) should have known that his 'yeah' vote on H.R. 5078 is bad news for clean water nationally and especially so for people in the 8th District, whose fragile Desert Valley and Mountain areas are in need of protection.  The proposed rule the Army Corps and EPA was working on was consistent with the Supreme Court's narrower reading of where the Act applies, which includes wetlands with a hydrologic connection to rivers and streams (like the Colorado, Owens and Santa Ana Rivers), including those rivers and streams that flow seasonally (like the Mojave River) [see http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Article/view/id/31900/ & http://1mississippi.org/your-clean-water-act-support-needed-now-more-than-ever/]. HR 5078 is one of many roadblocks opponents of the Clean Water Act protection rule (also called Waters of the U.S. rule) are throwing up.  The proposed rule making which HR 5078 & Cook's vote seeks to stop,  provided clarification about which waters the Clean Water Act applies to, and contrary to the shrill voices in the Boehner camp, did not protect any new types of waters".
.
Bob further says: " One has to wonder about Paul Cook and free speech--the rule making process INVOLVES the public and various stakeholders--what is he and his corporate minions scared about coming out of the rule making process. Paul Cook voted to stop current rulemaking (one has to wonder if he is afraid of intelligent professionals talking about what's good for Americans) & voted to prohibit the EPA and the Corps from developing any future rulemakings or basing implementation of the law on similar rules or guidance".

RYAN BUDGET SCREWS the MIDDLE CLASS, STUDENTS, SENIORS & WOMEN

DANGER WARNING

Rep. Paul Ryan—the Republicans’ self-appointed policy maker—is out with a new plan to cut Head Start, Medicaid, food stamps, low-income housing, energy assistance, job training, education, veterans programs, and... well, just about everything. The Ryan budget would:
      Raise taxes on middle class families by $2,000

      End the Medicare guarantee and turn Medicare into a voucher program

      Cost our economy 1.1 million jobs next year alone
Other problems??? [source:  http://TheRepublicanBudget.com]--in California alone we'd see
     45,109 Millionaires would get an $87,000 tax break
     358,862 seniors would pay more for medicine by bringing back the prescription drug donut hole
     51,350 college students would not get Pell Grants
     1,315 domestic violence victims lose access to STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN  PRGM    
     21,140 children would lose access to Head Start
More problems?? Yup. The economists whose data Ryan is using to justify these cuts say that Ryan’s misrepresenting their work, so it can't even do what he think it will.

Ryan cherry-picked data from various academic and governmental studies to create his numbers and the economists whose work he’s misrepresenting aren't happy about it.

Simply put: Paul Ryan is pulling a fast and furious--threatening to hold Americans hostage.. again.
