9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2017 AP FACT CHECK Trump gives Republican leaders Trump takes credit rallying cry, roadmap for change he hasn’t earned By ERICA WERNER Associated Press WASHINGTON — Pres- ident Donald Trump gave Republican congressional lead- ers a rallying cry and even a roadmap as they try to push through a sweeping and divi- sive agenda on health care, taxes and more. In his first address to a joint session of Congress, Trump said largely what GOP lead- ers were hoping to hear Tues- day night, staying on-message and talking in optimistic tones, even weighing in at one point to settle a brewing dispute over how to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday morning that Trump showed Congress and the nation his “broad shoul- ders, big heart, reaching out, focusing on the future.” Pence spoke on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” House Speaker Paul Ryan declared the speech a “home run,” pointing to Trump’s embrace for the first time of tax credits — a central element in the Republican plan to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law. Tax credits Those tax credits have sparked a fierce conserva- tive backlash in recent days, imperiling GOP efforts to make good on the party’s long- stated promise to get rid of “Obamacare” and put some- thing better in its place. Ahead of the speech congressional Republicans had been unsure how far Trump would go in backing their plan, with some pleading openly with him to do so, and many were elated at what they heard. “We should help Americans purchase their own coverage, through the use of tax cred- its and expanded health sav- ings accounts — but it must be the plan they want, not the plan forced on them by the govern- ment,” Trump said, as Repub- licans cheered and Democrats sat silently in their seats. 95 Schools & Education IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS about a Business or School Advertised, we advise you to call: The Consumer Hotline in Salem at (503)378-4320, 9 AM-1 PM, Monday-Friday or in Portland at (503)229-5576 100 Employment Information *ATTENTION READERS * Readers respond to mail/phone or- der ads at their own risk.

It remains to be seen whether Trump’s endorsement of refundable tax credits will be enough to tame rebellious conservatives in the House and Senate who have criticized them as a costly new entitle- ment. The initial response from one key conservative group, the Freedom Caucus in the House, was full of praise for Trump’s speech without mentioning the divisions over tax credits. “We were pleased the pres- ident reaffirmed his commit- ment to fully repeal Obamacare and replace it with patient-cen- tered, market-driven policy. We share his vision,” the group said. Taxes Trump also addressed taxes, another major issue that is dividing Congress. After weeks of sending mixed signals, he provided hope to House Republican leaders pushing a tax overhaul that would tax imports but not exports. But he stopped short of explicitly endorsing the proposal. “Currently, when we ship products out of America, many other countries make us pay very high tariffs and taxes — but when foreign companies ship their products into Amer- ica, we charge them almost nothing or almost nothing,” Trump said. 150 Homes for Sale PUBLISHER'S NOTICE EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY All real estate advertising in this newspaper is subject to the Fair Housing Act which makes it illegal to advertise "Any preference, limi- tation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handi- cap, familial status, or national origin, or an intention to make any such preference, limitation or dis- crimination."

Rewriting health care and overhauling the tax code are the twin pillars of the Repub- lican-run Congress’ legislative platform this year and GOP lawmakers have been eager for guidance from the president on both counts. House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady of Texas welcomed Trump’s remarks on taxes, and said “It was also great to hear the pres- ident’s strong support for our efforts to repeal Obamacare.” House leaders hope to meet an ambitious goal of pass- ing health legislation through the House and maybe even the Senate before mid-April. That was looking in doubt as divisions surfaced ahead of Trump’s speech, and it remains to be seen whether the deadline will be met. Democrats, accustomed to jeering at Trump as he veers off message, advances false claims or resorts to personal insults, argued that in deliv- ering a speech that did none of those things, Trump gave a wrong impression of how he has comported himself as pres- ident after five weeks in office. “President Trump’s speech had an air of unreality because what he said tonight was so dif- ferent than how he has gov- erned in the first 40 days,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. Schumer said Wednes- day that despite Trump’s call for unity, the president “hasn’t reached out” to Democrats. Instead, Schumer told CNN, Trump’s actions “have favored the hard, hard right. That’s not where America is, that’s not even where the Republican Party is.” Trump planned to continue his legislative push Wednesday, meeting with House and Senate leaders for lunch at the White House before leading a legis- lative affairs strategy session. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also summoned senators to a closed-door after- noon meeting on health care to hash out divisions on the issue in that chamber. But Republicans’ enthusias- tic reception to Trump’s speech could belie tough fights ahead. Trump called on Congress to approve a $1 trillion infrastruc- ture bill, something likely to set up a clash with deficit hawks, and also renewed his call for money for a border wall, which could provoke a spend- ing fight with Democrats and even the threat of a government shutdown. 230 Houses, Unfurnished 585 Antique-Classic Cars For all our available rentals.

TRUMP: “Since my elec- tion, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, Gen- eral Motors, Sprint, Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart and many others have announced that they will invest billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thou- sands of new American jobs.” THE FACTS: Trump is taking credit for corporate jobs decisions that largely predate his election. In the case of Intel, construction of the Chandler, Arizona, fac- tory referred to by Trump actually began during Barack Obama’s presidency. The project was delayed by insuf- ficient demand for Intel’s high-powered computer chips, but the company now expects to finish the factory within four years because it anticipates business growth. Some of the job announce- ments have come after com- panies, such as the wireless carrier Sprint, reduced their numbers of workers. More important, even as some companies create jobs, others are laying off workers. The best measure of whether more jobs are actually being created is the monthly employment report issued by the Labor Department, which nets out those gains and losses. The department will issue its report for February, the first full month of Trump’s term, on March 10.

Commercial Salmon permit included! $215,000 360-642-5635 Mon-Fri or buddancrl@centurytel.net WASHINGTON — Pres- ident Donald Trump boasted Tuesday night about corpo- rate job expansion and mili- tary cost-savings that actually took root under his prede- cessor and gave a one-sided account of the costs and ben- efits to the economy from immigration — ignoring the upside. A look at some of his claims in his prime-time speech to Congress: TRUMP: “According to the National Academy of Sci- ences, our current immigra- tion system costs America’s taxpayers many billions of dollars a year.” THE FACTS: That’s not exactly what that report says. It says immigrants “contrib- ute to government finances by paying taxes and add expen- ditures by consuming public services.” The report found that while first-generation immi- grants are more expensive to governments than their native-born counterparts, pri- marily at the state and local level, immigrants’ children “are among the strongest eco- nomic and fiscal contributors in the population.” This sec- ond generation contributed more in taxes on a per capita basis, for example, than did non-immigrants in the period studied, 1994-2013. The report found that the “long-run fiscal impact” of immigrants and their children would probably be seen as more positive “if their role in sustaining labor force growth and contributing to innova- tion and entrepreneurial activ- ity were taken into account.” became president. The head of the Air Force program announced sig- nificant price reductions in the contract for the Lock- heed F-35 fighter jet Dec. 19 — after Trump had tweeted about the cost but weeks before he met the company’s CEO about it. Pentagon managers took action even before the elec- tion to save money on the contract. Richard Aboulafia, an analyst with the aerospace consulting firm Teal Group, said there is no evidence of any additional cost savings as a result of Trump’s actions.
