In the context of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a still-stagnant economy, President Barack Obama faces two important questions on energy transmission: a decision on the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and the question of increasing American natural gas exports. These are choices that will resonate from Crimea to Cove Point. John Delaney Read Quote
A family’s love is often the best medicine, and in difficult times, I believe that our military families deserve the option of staying together. John Delaney Read Quote
We have to start grounding our policies in facts and recognize that a strong economy is critical for funding progressive priorities. John Delaney Read Quote
Clay Hunt was the kind of individual that has made America a great country. In 2005, when his country needed him, he enlisted in the Marine Corps. Shot in Iraq, he earned a Purple Heart, and after he recuperated, he graduated from Marine Corps Scout Sniper School and was deployed to Afghanistan. John Delaney Read Quote
Our veterans and service members are known for their strength, but when they’re recovering from an operation or receiving emergency care, that strength can depend on seeing a spouse, talking with the kids or just knowing that loved ones are by their side. It isn’t difficult to imagine what a difference keeping families together can make. John Delaney Read Quote
I am of the view that the Affordable Care Act will be a transformative piece of legislation that can lower the cost of health care in the United States – perhaps our greatest fiscal obstacle – and help all Americans lead healthy and productive lives, free from worry that a single illness could mean ruin for an entire family. John Delaney Read Quote
I’m not an economist, but I have spent time around thousands of small-business owners and investors, and I remain skeptical – despite the best intentions of the Fed – that even lower interest rates can make a meaningful dent in our unemployment problem. John Delaney Read Quote
During their service, men and women in our Armed Forces live by a common creed, promising never to leave a soldier behind. We should live by the same principle. When our veterans are asked to travel hundreds of miles for care that’s offered right next door, we simply aren’t living up to that standard, and something has to change. John Delaney Read Quote
The administration must act promptly to ensure that the central premise of the Affordable Care Act is executable and, rather than dismissing criticism, should examine it in good faith and work to serve the needs of the people. President Obama must approach this problem like a CEO confronting a very bad product launch. John Delaney Read Quote
Washington is paralyzed by extreme political rhetoric that creates powerful sound bites but poor policy. John Delaney Read Quote
