    Aung San Suu Kyi's words & actions – in the face of what in reality has been genocide – have been deeply disturbing, contrary to her past example as a beacon of freedom.

    ...the GM layoffs & plant closings underscore why remains unpopular in industrial areas. The new NAFTA - renamed the to avoid any association with the old one - still falls short on providing protections for workers, jobs, & wages. | My op/ed

    Without changes, in law and practice, that address the suppressed low wages & dismantle the so-called protection agreements in Mexico, the new will continue conditions that have led to outsourced American jobs.

    When he authored an article commenting on the continuing friendship that I shared with Gov. Milliken, I very much treasured it. As we continued to stay in touch, he as always maintained his warm spirit despite the challenges he faced. So very many of us will very much miss him.

    It was with deep sadness that I learned that George Weeks passed away. I got to know him first as press secretary for Governor William Milliken. Like the Governor, George combined civility and total dedication to his work and ideas.

    The new fails to forcefully & directly address the lack of assured & real labor reform in Mexico, in language & in practice. Failing that, it will only lock in the status quo of massive outsourcing to Mexico for decades to come & its consequences.

    The recent GM announcement must serve as a major wake up call. Mexico’s persistent, suppressed low wages of a few dollars per hour caused a major outsourcing of vehicle & supplier production to Mexico, suppressing American wages & creating job loss. -

    is a reminder of the value of democracy. The truth about the famine was suppressed by the totalitarian Soviet regime. One of the advantages of democracy is that there are more ways for the truth to be brought out, and fewer barriers to overcome.

    This has been calculated to save $1.4 billion annually by the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human Services. I have introduced H.R. 5150, the Protecting Medicare from Excessive Price Increases Act, which would establish such a program in Part B.

    A better way to address growth in Part B drug prices would be to follow a recommendations by the nonpartisan Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) to require drug manufacturers to provide rebates to Medicare when the price of their drug increases faster than inflation.

    Moreover, changes to Part B could shift more costs onto seniors and in some cases may jeopardize access to chemotherapy for cancer patients.

    This will likely have only a modest impact on overall Medicare spending and will do next to nothing to force drug companies to limit growth in the cost of their drugs.
