Joe Heck: Social Security 'a pyramid scheme'
NevadafreshmanRep. Joe Heck earned groans from a group of his constituents when hecalled Social Security "a pyramid scheme." Heck was in the middle of describing theprogram's sustainability when he delivered the made-for-YouTube soundbite. "The full retirement age is 67 and the lifespan is 80, so when they first conceived Social Security, they didn't think they were going to be paying benefits for 13-15 years. That's one of the reasons why this pyramid scheme isn't working," he said in the clip above. ... Source: politico.com
Tea Party support for Joe Heck wanes
It was always a marriage of convenience. Republican Rep. Joe Heck campaigned, won, and has served Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District with the support of the Tea Party, even though he’s never pledged himself to the movement. He just generally agreed with its ideals. But the support that helped him narrowly win the seat is, at least partially, giving way. “I don’t trust him,” Art Gisi, vice president of a Tea Party group called the Grass Roots Tea Party of Nevada, said at a Las Vegas event to kick off Sharron Angle’s book tour last week. “I told him ...

Heck Applauds House Passage of CTE Reauthorization WASHINGTON -- Congressman Joe Heck (NV-03) today applauded House passage of H.R. 5587, the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, legislation that reauthorizes the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act and will help more Americans - especially young Americans - enter the workforce with the tools and knowledge they need to compete for in-demand jobs. The legislation contains Rep. Heck's bill H.R. 5152, the Career and Technical Education Equity Act, legislation that ensures Nevada receives its fair share of federal career and technical education (CTE) funding. According to a report by the Congressional Research Service, it is estimated that the Heck legislation will increase Nevada’s share of federal CTE funding by 11.5%. "This bill will help make it easier for state and local education leaders in Nevada and around the country to build upon their success in CTE and continue to prepare students for college or full-time, good-paying jobs in |
Heck, Amodei, Hardy Introduce Bill to Spare Nevadans from Unfair Obamacare Tax WASHINGTON -- In the wake of the news of large insurers leaving the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges, reducing coverage options, and increasing costs for individuals and families, Congressman Joe Heck (NV-03) along with Congressmen Mark Amodei (NV-02) and Cresent Hardy (NV-04) today introduced legislation to spare Nevadans from an unfair tax under that law. The Protection from Insurance Exchange Monopolies Act, would exempt all individuals who live in a county with one or no health insurers offering plans on the Obamacare exchanges from the individual mandate penalty. In Nevada, residents of 10 counties - Esmeralda, Mineral, Humboldt, Pershing, Churchill, Lincoln, White Pine, Eureka, Lander, and Elko - will have only one insurance carrier to choose from, denying them the options and affordability originally promised by the ACA. "The Affordable Care Act promised Nevadans more healthcare choices and lower costs but, as expected, we now know those promises were empty" Rep. Joe Heck s |
