Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning), has been a long-time supporter of the Keystone XL Pipeline legislation, saying it will create jobs and assist with manufacturing growth in the United States.
WASHINGTON – Chautauqua County’s representative in the House says he’ll be focusing on three major efforts during the current session that he says will protect taxpayers.
Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning), who has a seat on the House Ways and Means Committee, says the panel met last week to discuss initiatives it would like to pursue this year.
Reed said his top priority for the committee is to reform the federal tax code, focus on reeling in spending from the social security disability fund so that it doesn’t rely on the retirement fund, and also reforming the current Welfare system into what he’s calling “workfare” In order to create opportunity to break the cycle of dependency that keeps the working poor in poverty.
The Ways and Means Committee is the fiscal oversight committee on congress and is responsible for making budget recommendations.
Idiot!
Why? Because he wants reform?
