Rep. Joe Pitts: No reason for Obama to bypass Congress

By Congressman Joe Pitts

When you go home from work after a long day, do you take a bumpy road that takes additional miles and time? Of course not, you take the most direct, fastest route even if there are some lights and traffic. Why go out of your way when all you want to do is get home?

In Washington, the direct route to getting something done is through Congress. There’s good reason why the President travels down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol to lay out his priorities. Because without changes to the law, the proposals would be written in the sand of executive order and regulation.

Every President wants a lasting legacy, solutions that stand the test of time. When President Obama signs an executive order, that is a promise that may not last even the duration of his own presidency. These orders don’t have the force of law. They are much more likely to be struck down by a court and they can be undone by another executive order.

I understand that the President is frustrated that his big-ticket items aren’t going to go through a Republican-led House, but that shouldn’t prevent us from working together on things we agree on. In his State of the Union address, the President announced at least three proposals that could get bipartisan support. Why go around when we can work together?

The first proposal that could easily get through Congress is reform of federal job training proposals. There are roughly 20 million Americans who are unemployed or underemployed right now. In our fast moving economy, workers have to continue developing their skills over a lifetime. Federal job training programs are supposed to ensure that no one gets left behind.

Unfortunately, federal job training programs have become duplicative and bureaucratic. There are over 50 separate programs now and duplication of effort may be wasting as much as $18 billion annually. Workers find themselves having to jump through a number of hoops before they become eligible.

In the State of the Union address, the President asked Vice President Biden to conduct a review of job training programs and called on Congress to help. The President however, is late to the game. The Republican budget called for consolidation of job training programs three years ago. Last year, the House passed the SKILLS Act that streamlines 30 separate programs into a new, single fund. This bill has been sitting in the Senate for nearly a year.

There’s no need for further review when the Government Accountability Office already studied this issue in depth. We don’t need a duplicative study to get rid of duplicative programs.

In his address, the President also called for cutting red tape to bring more natural gas plants online. Republicans agree that we should take more advantage of a clean-burning natural resource. In fact, we passed the Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act last fall with bipartisan support.

New plants can’t be built without safe, efficient pipelines. Again, the Senate has not acted on this bill, even though it had support from 26 Democrats. If the President acts without authority from Congress, it is far more likely that radical environmental groups will stop any progress with lawsuits. We should work together to bring more clean energy online sooner.

The President also called for additional research into vaccines and cures for disease. The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act would eliminate public funding for the Democratic and Republican national conventions and instead fund pediatric research at the National Institutes of Health.

The bill passed with a veto-proof majority in the House. Just like the other two proposals I’ve discussed, this bill is sitting in the Senate. We can immediately move $13 million a year into research just by agreeing that the American taxpayer shouldn’t pay for political events.

The President also proposed a new investment product for low-income Americans, the MyRA. For years, I’ve been working to pass legislation to create individual development accounts to help low-income workers save for the future. I’m sure there are others in Congress who would work with the President to establish this new investment vehicle in law.

So much of what the President called for on Tuesday night has broad support. There’s no reason to go around Congress when there are so few barriers to passing lasting legislation.

U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts is a Republican who represents Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District.

Guest Column: Healthcare.gov lacks security and transparency

By Congressman Joe Pitts

Shortly before Christmas, during the midst of the busy shopping season, hackers stole 40 million credit card numbers from Target. The same hack yielded 70 million records for customers’ phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and home addresses. High-end department store chain Neiman Marcus got hit by a similar attack. Some of their customers reported fraudulent charges on their cards.

Identity theft is a huge and growing problem. According to the Department of Justice, more than 16 million Americans were hit with identity theft in 2012. Financial losses totaled more than $24 billion in that year.

The vast majority of victims find out that their identity has been compromised because a financial institution has informed them. If a consumer doesn’t get informed promptly, the damage can be significant. Half of people who took more than six months to get their identity theft cleared up reported facing severe emotional distress.

Perhaps the worst part of identity theft is that the victim usually wasn’t doing anything risky. In 2014, almost everyone uses a debt or credit card at the cash register.

This year, Americans are for the first time required by law to have health insurance. To meet the requirements of Obamacare, that has to be a government-approved plan. Whether you sign up for a plan through a navigator, or on the phone, or by paper, the application is entered onto the website. Tens of millions of Americans, even if they didn’t buy a plan, submitted personal information to Healthcare.gov and other state sites.

Most people know what a disaster Healthcare.gov has been. Most users couldn’t get through their application without it crashing until the beginning of December. According to testimony given in Congress in the last week, parts of the website hidden from consumers are still being worked on. The government recently chose not to renew the contract of the lead website designer, CGI Federal.

In some of the states, their own website projects have been even more of a disaster. Oregon’s site has never been functional and all applications are being processed on paper by hand. Massachusetts also hired CGI Federal to construct their website and is now thinking about suing the company. Maryland has faced a host of problems and the site is now an issue in the Democratic primary for governor with accusations being traded between the candidates. The executive director of Minnesota’s site resigned after it was discovered that she went on a tropical vacation as the website was down for repairs.

With all these problems, there are tremendous concerns that the sites lack proper security controls. Shortly before the website went live, one federal official refused to sign the security statement believing that there was a great risk of endangering personal information.

Even systems thought to be secure face new and exotic attacks. A relatively new system full of glitches and sloppy fixes is even more at risk. At the beginning of the year, I introduced legislation to require the government to alert individuals if their personal information has been stolen or inadvertently disclosed. Whenever there is a breach, the Department of Health and Human Services would have two business days to alert consumers.

This bill passed the House with overwhelming support from both Republicans and Democrats. With 291 yes votes, the bill had a veto-proof majority.

The House followed this up the next week by passing a bill introduced by my colleague Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) that would require the government to give weekly reports of basic information about the website. This would include information on problems and glitches facing website users. This bill also passed with 33 Democrats supporting it.

Despite promises, the Obama administration has been anything by transparent, especially when it comes to Obamacare. In the more than three months that the website has been up, they have only provided basic data three times. That is unacceptable considering how easy it would be to provide it to Congress and the public more regularly.

The American people have a right to know what is going on with Healthcare.gov and other exchange websites. Security and transparency have to be priorities when personal information is being stored in government databases.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Pro-Life People 'Have No Place in the State of New York'

When it comes to abortion, not-so-tolerant liberals like N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo have no room for anyone who believes in the sanctity of human life.

Check out this statement from Chiaroscuro Foundation President Greg Pfundstein on Gov. Cuomo's remarks about anyone who opposes abortion:
"Governor Cuomo's suggestion Friday that pro-life New Yorkers 'have no place in the state of New York' reflects a perverted view of the abortion issue and it raises significant questions that the governor needs to address.  Just which New Yorkers have no place? Is it the 35% of New York Democrats who call themselves pro-life? Or the 76% of New Yorkers who favor requiring parental notification before a minor receives an abortion? Are these the New Yorkers Governor Cuomo is talking about?

"Is it the Ninety-two percent (92%) of New Yorkers who oppose gender selection abortions, which Governor Cuomo's abortion expansion bill would allow up until birth?  How about the 75% of New Yorkers who oppose allowing people who are not doctors to perform abortions? 

"What about the 72% of New York Democrats who favor a 24 hour waiting period before an abortion? Or the 74% of pro-choice New Yorkers who agree with them?"

Poll: 1 in 5 Dems oppose Obamacare

New year, same old problems with the Obamacare fiasco.

From Investor's Business Daily:
One in five Democrats now opposes ObamaCare, a record high, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll. And more than one in six Democrats now say they want it repealed, another new high.

Overall, 55% of the public oppose the law, the highest since IBD/TIPP started asking this question in 2010. Just 37% support ObamaCare, matching a record low.

And while support for outright repeal of the law inched down in January, that was because it fell among Republicans and independents. Among Democrats, support for repeal jumped 4 points.
ObamaCare is also clearly driving down President Obama's approval rating, which dropped to just 38% in January from 43% in November. Among Democrats, Obama's approval has dropped 10 points since November.

Never mind. Raising the minimum is a gesture of devotion to "equality."
