El presidente tiene raz\u00f3n al enfatizar la reconstrucci\u00f3n de nuestra deteriorada infraestructura ahora que los costos de endeudamiento son bajos y la construcci\u00f3n puede poner a trabajar a mucha gente. El presidente tambi\u00e9n va por buen camino al proponer inversiones en educaci\u00f3n infantil y educaci\u00f3n STEM (ciencia, tecnolog\u00eda, ingenier\u00eda y matem\u00e1ticas). Sin embargo, debemos hacer m\u00e1s para apoyar la educaci\u00f3n desde jard\u00edn de infantes hasta 12.\u00ba grado y hacer que la universidad sea m\u00e1s asequible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDurante los \u00faltimos 15 a\u00f1os hemos perdido 5 millones de empleos manufactureros y m\u00e1s de 40.000 f\u00e1bricas en Estados Unidos. Debemos revertir esa tendencia: si no fabricamos cosas en Estados Unidos, no tendremos clase media en Estados Unidos. Es por eso que me alegra que el Presidente haya propuesto crear institutos de innovaci\u00f3n manufacturera para crear asociaciones entre los sectores p\u00fablico y privado para llevar empleos manufactureros a partes del pa\u00eds que han sufrido estas p\u00e9rdidas de empleos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSin embargo, estoy totalmente en desacuerdo con la idea de aplicar el llamado &#039;IPC encadenado&#039; a la Seguridad Social. &#039;IPC encadenado&#039; es la jerga de DC para referirse a recortar los beneficios ganados con tanto esfuerzo por las personas mayores que han trabajado toda su vida. Algunos en Washington opinan que hemos sido demasiado generosos con nuestros mayores. Est\u00e1n completamente equivocados. Las personas mayores reciben un promedio de $1.200 al mes de la Seguridad Social. Para m\u00e1s de la mitad de nuestras personas mayores, el Seguro Social constituye la mayor parte de sus ingresos. Deber\u00edamos utilizar un \u00edndice de costo de vida que refleje con precisi\u00f3n los costos reales que enfrentan las personas mayores, no recortar ajustes por costo de vida que ya son demasiado bajos\u201d.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Washington, DC &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement after President Obama sent his 2014 budget request to Congress:&nbsp; &ldquo;This budget has both strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp; &ldquo;A strength is its investment in infrastructure and education.
