we step up and deal with the
tax system more and more
money will leave.
The Republicans want
to go to a territorial system
where corporations don’t pay
taxes on money made out-
side the United States. What
I propose is a bipartisan bill
where we get rid of territori-
al taxation to have more red,
white and blue jobs.”
On the environment:
“The president woke up
yesterday to fi nd his federal
agencies don’t agree with
him on climate change. They
pointed out that the last three
years have been hotter than
any point in history. We’ve
had fi res that are bigger and
hotter, hurricanes and it
seems to me that they are
ignoring the science.
The question is are we go-
ing to use the science. What
has come out of late is that
middle schoolers will learn
the most about science from
non-classroom activities. The
Trump Administration is try-
ing to cut the funding for the
National Science Foundation
for non-classroom education.
I’m going to use my seat on
the budget committee to do
everything I can to fi ght for
that kind of education.”
On the possibility of
ending the war on terror:
“With
respect
to
intelligence
policy. We
need to make sure we have
the resources to get good,
objective information to stay
out of wars. We have a lot of
issues in the intelligence fi eld:
we have an aging workforce,
we still don’t have enough
people who have mastered
the languages we need in
the fi eld and we have a big
problem with cybersecurity.”
On wildfi res and fi re
prevention:
“Mike Crapo and I have
been working on a bill that
Those can be put in place
without any federal action.
There have been a whole
host of progressive proposals
with different approaches and
pieces to the puzzle. What
I want to make sure is that
there isn’t a repeat of what
happened with Republicans.
For seven years, they talked
about repeal and replace and
then the Republican dog
caught the Republican car
and they didn’t know what
to do.
The
fastest
growing
part of Medicare today is
Medicare Advantage, which
is private insurance. No one
has explained that Medicare
Advantage will depart (under
a single-payer system) and
that employer-paid healthcare
insurance would go away. I
think people deserve to hear
that.
I want to do some things
right now. I want to get tough
with the pharmaceutical
companies so that Medicare
can bargain for the costs. I also
want to go after the middle
men like the pharmaceutical
benefi t managers. I also want
to make sure we don’t bring
back Graham-Cassidy and
bills that don’t protect people
with pre-existing conditions.
The concentration among
insurers and hospitals has
gotten way out of hand and I
think the healthcare industry
by-and-large is really ripe
for taking out the anti-trust
laws. The fi rst step is busting
up monopolies and require
that anti-trust apply to the
insurance industry.
I think we have to come
up with a uniquely American
system, I don’t think we can
take one of the other systems
and plop it down here.What
we’ve got to do is be very
specifi c about how we get
from here to there. I’m not
ruling out anything.”
ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO TRUMP CAMPAIGN COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA:
“This is going to be a really important time for the
Constitution and for our system of government.
Any attempt to fi re Bob Mueller without cause will
cause a Constitutional crisis. His handling of Paul
Manafort and Bob Gates and George Papadopoulos
was a textbook case of professionalism. They
were meticulously documented. Papadopoulos is
important because along with Donald Trump Jr.
these are two individuals on the record with an
attempt to collude.”
would end fi re borrowing.
What that means is that the
government
underfunds
prevention that produces jobs.
Then it gets hot and dry and
all of the sudden you have an
inferno. Then the government
borrows from the prevention
fund to put the fi re out. The
1 to 2 percent of big fi res
would be fought with the
Natural Disaster Fund.
What has come up most
recently is that some have said
that’s fi ne, but what we want to
do is more forest management
which is sometimes code
for not complying with
environmental regulation.”
On the biggest threat to
the country:
“Political change starts
bottom up and the biggest
challenge we have is to
mobilize when core values
are at stake. Nobody thought
that we could beat Trumpcare
1, Trumpcare 2 or Trumpcare
3 and we kept going back
with marches and calls and
letters. That’s the way you
make political change.”
On relations with North
Korea:
“I strongly favor expanding
fi nancial sanctions against
North Koreans. Today, for
all practical purposes, you
can make it impossible for
them to do business unless
they pay in cash. The North
Koreans continue to do a lot
of business with countries
around the world and I think
we need to make it clear that
you either do business with us
or North Korea. I have always
felt that smart security policy
is a combination of soft
power and hard power and
the rhetoric you use is really
important. I thought it was
a signifi cant mistake for the
president to call Kim Jong-
Un ‘rocket man.’ We need
to lower the decibel level
and see if we can open up
some channels to have some
conversation.”
On
fi xing
the
Affordable Care Act and
the possibility of single-
payer:
“There’s a provision in the
ACA that would allow any
state to set up a single-payer
system. Oregon, if it wants
to, can go set up its own
thing. Oregon, Washington
and California could also do
it together and that would
be a powerful experiment.
