Harley Rouda: “The Postal Service also has a ridiculous mandate to prefund in 10 years' time 75 years of retiree health benefits…”

As you know, there is a bipartisan bill sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk that would eliminate the prefunding mandate and free up tens of billions of dollars for the U.S. Postal Service.

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.

For every $1 we provide for renewables we provide $3 for fossil fuels.

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.
