Harley Rouda: “We know the current MATS rules protect our most vulnerable: our children, our unborn, and our pregnant moms.”

The Postal Service also has a ridiculous mandate to prefund in 10 years' time 75 years of retiree health benefits, unlike any other private or public institution.

I do not think the Green New Deal is the way to do it, but I do think that we have the capacity, the intellectual, technical capacity to address these issues and do it in a way that not only benefits our country but the whole world.

Earlier this year, we learned the damage that could be done to our communities by just a one percent under count.

In fact, in Orange County in my district, we learned that if there is a one percent under count of low-income students, schools could lose over a quarter million dollars in Federal funding.
