AMAC Action Supports Sen. Paul’s Call to Investigate Biden-Harris Medicare Scheme

AMAC Action applauds Senator Rand Paul’s (KY) call for an investigation into the Biden-Harris administration’s use of billions of taxpayer dollars to offset the increase in Medicare Part D premiums caused by the Inflation Reduction Act. Senator Paul is concerned that the influx of money is a violation of the Hatch Act, which limits the political activities of employees who work with federally funded programs.

Paul contends that since the Inflation Reduction Act is a central theme in the Biden-Harris presidential campaign, a probe of this use of taxpayer funds is warranted.

AMAC Action President Bob Carlstrom agrees with Senator Paul saying, “Kamala Harris cast the deciding vote to pass the deceptively named Inflation Reduction Act which redesigned the Medicare Part D benefit and caused the largest increase in premiums since the program’s inception. Now we see the Biden-Harris administration attempting to fool seniors by spending billions of taxpayer dollars to artificially lower the premium increases facilitated by their own bad law.”

Carlstrom continued, “The timing of this maneuver is also quite dubious. The Biden-Harris administration clearly does not want to shock seniors with higher premiums for their drug benefit as we enter Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period and certainly not before the general election in November.”

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period begins on October 15 and runs through December 7, 2024.

Why You Should Vote EARLY

• You’ll experience shorter lines and better poll worker performance
• It allows election officials to correct registration errors and fix voting system glitches earlier.
• Early voting provides flexibility to voters who can’t take time off during the week to vote.
• You also avoid potentially bad weather on election day and some polling has shown that early voting enjoys popular support.

But here is perhaps the greatest reason to vote early…

Democrats have a history of turning out their vote early and banking sizable vote tallies for their candidates.

You may rest assured that Democrats will be out in full force early in the General Election, which makes it imperative that we take advantage of early voting days in our states and bank as many votes for our candidates as possible.

VOTE EARLY! And spread the word!

Term of the Week: Federalism

A system of government in which power is divided between a national (federal) government and various regional governments. As defined by the United States CONSTITUTION, federalism is a fundamental aspect of American government, whereby the states are not merely regional representatives of the federal government, but are granted independent powers and responsibilities. With their own LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, EXECUTIVE BRANCH, and JUDICIAL BRANCH, states are empowered to pass, enforce, and interpret laws, provided they do not violate the Constitution. This arrangement not only allows state governments to respond directly to the interests of their local populations, but also serves to check the power of the federal government. While the federal government determines foreign policy, with exclusive power to make treaties, declare ware, and control imports and exports, the states have exclusive power to ratify and amend the Constitution. Most governmental responsibilities, however, are shared by state and federal governments; both levels are involved in such public policy issues as TAXATION, business regulation, environmental protection, and CIVIL RIGHTS.

Quote of the Week

“The conflict today is not simply a normal policy argument between conservatives and progressives. It is over the future of the historic American nation, both its creed and its culture. Therefore, those who affirm the American nation—whether they are NatCons, FreeCons, or patriotic liberals—should be called Americanists. Those who find our inheritance deeply problematic and seek a revolutionary transformation of the American regime should, logically, be called Transformationists. Today’s polarization should be viewed as an existential struggle between Americanists and Transformationists.”

― John Fonte, senior fellow and director of the Center for American Common Culture at the Hudson Institute
