The key may be for Congress to compromise on a package that can muster bipartisan support similar to 1986. \u00a0If Congress settles for tax cuts only, the nation\u2019s deficit would likely grow in the short run but could eventually come down as a result of economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Healthcare<\/p>\n<p>There are no quick, easy or cheap ways to fix, repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act.\u00a0 In reality, Congress and the White House cannot ignore dealing with several provisions that threaten patient coverage and adequate medical care.\u00a0 Several states are down to one insurance carrier.\u00a0 Other states must continue to receive Medicaid subsidies if their low income citizens have any coverage at all.\u00a0 Will preexisting conditions continue to be covered and, if so, at what price?\u00a0 Will Members of Congress and their staff be allowed to continue receiving a government contribution toward the purchase of on-exchange health insurance plans?\u00a0 Will cost-sharing reduction payments come to an end? \u00a0Will Medicaid eligibility be tied to some form of work or job training requirement?<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, an ad hoc bipartisan Problem Solvers group of 23 Democrats and 20 Republicans are working on a comprehensive plan of reforms designed largely to stabilize ObamaCare\u2019s insurance markets. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Telecommunications<\/p>\n<p>National Grange President Betsy Huber is a member of the Federal Communications Commission\u2019s Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee and serves on two subcommittees charged with developing recommendations for eliminating barriers to the expansion of broadband into rural America.<\/p>\n<p>The National Grange recently filed a comment with the FCC regarding the concept of a free and open internet that would expand access to high-speed internet in underserved areas.\u00a0 Since a 2015 reclassification of high-speed internet as a utility service, multiple internet providers are curbing plans to expand deployment because of costs and legal uncertainties stemming from the reclassification.\u00a0 The National Grange is urging Congress to work toward bipartisan legislation that codifies the core principles of net neutrality into law to prevent future regulatory uncertainty from stifling rural broadband expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Immigration<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture continues to struggle with labor shortages month after month especially during harvest season.\u00a0 Dairy and livestock producers also need longer term employees to train and retain.\u00a0 The current Labor Department H-2A program is being utilized by farmers and ranchers but they argue the wage rates, paperwork requirements and time delays are too burdensome.\u00a0\u00a0 Secretary of Agriculture Perdue has been tasked with developing ag workforce proposals for Congress to consider.\u00a0 House Judiciary Committee Chairman Goodlatte (R-VA) plans to reintroduce his Ag Act to eliminate some of the requirements of H-2A while providing legal status to existing workers.\u00a0\u00a0 His is also the committee of jurisdiction for immigration and the Ag Act. Broad comprehensive immigration reform appears unlikely for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 The National Grange and the Ag Workforce Coalition will continue to push for a legislative solution for agriculture this year.<\/p>\n<p>Farm Bill<\/p>\n<p>Both the Senate and House agriculture committees have been holding public hearings in Washington and listening sessions around the country.\u00a0 Both Senate Ag Committee Chairman Roberts (R-KS) and House Ag Committee Chairman Conaway (R-TX) are hopeful a draft farm bill can be ready by year\u2019s end.\u00a0 The current farm bill expires September 30, 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Farm bills today are really huge omnibus legislative vehicles going far beyond the original role of setting agriculture policy.\u00a0 They include agriculture research, crop insurance, commodity programs, conservation efforts, disaster relief, farm loans, foreign market development, nutrition and feeding programs, renewable energy and biofuels, rural development (including grants for infrastructure and telecommunications), specialty crop support and U.S. Forest Service management.\u00a0 The farm bill is a major legislative vehicle that will definitely move through Congress over the next year.\u00a0 As such, it could be seen as a possible \u201cChristmas tree\u201d on which to hang all kinds of non-germane amendments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 80% of the cost of a modern farm bill is for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP) better known as food stamps.\u00a0 \u00a0The perennial question is why such politically divergent philosophies are tied together in the same piece of legislation.\u00a0\u00a0 Farm programs were combined with feeding programs many years age as a practical means of \u201cvote swapping\u201d to preserve each of these initiatives that might not survive a floor vote as a stand-alone measure.<\/p>\n<p>Trade<\/p>\n<p>Despite President Trump\u2019s repeated tweets, the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is moving along quickly, positively, and without animosity according to officials involved in the process.\u00a0 Negotiators from the U.S., Canada and Mexico have agreed to an accelerated schedule to try to wrap up overhaul of the trade pact by the end of the year.\u00a0 Agriculture groups in all three countries continue to stress \u201cdo no harm\u201d to agriculture trade as negotiators address trade deficits, lost manufacturing jobs and business that have closed or moved because of NAFTA.\u00a0\u00a0 The National Grange agrees and is anxious to see progress in jobs creation, manufacturing opportunities and new business development.<\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #d9aa1c;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Looking Ahead to Midtern Elections<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\nAll 435 seats in the House of Representatives and a third of those in the Senate will be up for election in 2018.\u00a0 Democrats see some opportunity to win back their majority in the House and are working hard to enhance their chances.\u00a0 The Senate will be a tougher climb for Democrats.\u00a0 The Democrats will be defending 25 incumbent seats while Republicans will only need to hold on to nine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislative Outlook &#8211; A Chronology of What to Expect After six months of stalled legislative action, Congress faces some heavy lifts this fall.\u00a0 When both the House and Senate reconvene September 5, several must-do items cannot be ignored. \u00a0First, Congress has until September 29 to raise the United States debt limit and increase the nation\u2019s &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/vps70863.inmotionhosting.com\/~nationalgrange\/policy-updates-issue-news-august-2017\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Policy Updates and Issue News August 2017&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-policy-updatesnews"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 -
