Giving Credit, When Credit is Due
I want to thank Allison Transmission for their support in this
year’s Miracle Ride. With the help and support of Larry Dewey,
President and Dave Parish, Vice President, of Allison Transmission,
Inc., but no less or important than all the employees of
Allison, both salary and Union members, who worked so hard
for Riley Children’s Hospital, it was great to see Dave Parish
present a check for $55,470.00 to Miracle Ride on June 5.
How Soon We Forget
Sometimes we need to be reminded of history. I was given an
article by John Davis, UAW LUPA Advisory Council, that I
feel needs to be shared with all employees:
The Debt Ceiling: Protecting Subsidies of the Wealthy
By John Davis, UAW-LUPA Advisory Council Chair
These days the main topic in Washington is the debt ceiling.
In 1917 Congress passed a measure to cap the amount
of debt the government can hold. In the past 50 years that
ceiling has been raised 75 times during various times.
The current debt ceiling will be met in August, with Congress
and the Senate discussing the viability of increasing the debt
ceiling again. Speaker of the House John Boehner, House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and
Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl all are staunchly opposed to raising the
debt ceiling, demanding “entitlement cuts” to bring the national debt
down. Without raising the debt ceiling, many facets of the federal government
would shut down providing further damage to the economy.
While the national debt should be a great concern to all, it is funny
these four would suddenly become so interested in “reigning in the
national debt” based on their past votes concerning the debt ceiling.
During the Bush Presidency these same elected officials
voted to increase the debt limit numerous times. When Bush took office
the government was actually running a surplus, yet we still had a
debt ceiling of $5.95 trillion dollars. The GOP went on their spending
spree on tax cuts for the wealthy and wars and drove the debt up.
By the time Bush left office, the debt ceiling was at $9.825 trillion
with these same four legislators voting to increase the debt ceiling.
In May 2003 McConnell and Kyl voted to increase the debt ceiling
$900 billion on the same day they voted to extend $350 billion in tax
cuts to the wealthy. According to the Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities, that single vote will add $3.4 trillion to the deficit by 2019.
McConnell and Boehner have lead the way in blocking the
extension of unemployment benefits for those who have been out of
work for an extended period of time last fall, holding it hostage until
the President agreed to extend the tax cuts to the wealthiest 2%.
This extension is a major player in the current debt issues. Now
Page 3 - Summer 2011
these same two are demanding “entitlement cuts” to lower the current
national deficit. They plan on using the debt ceiling as a pawn
to force the widely unpopular Ryan Budget plan the Republicans demanded
this spring. Under the Ryan Plan Medicare would be privatized
increasing out of pocket expense to seniors by 250%, while not
lowering the amount the Federal Government contributes at all. Who
would benefit from this? - private insurance companies. The same
group that got rich of the Republican Medicare Prescription Drug plan
that has bankrupted thousands of senior citizens across the country.
A bipartisan commission was assembled to negotiate a deal
to address the deficit and debt ceiling. Vice-President Joe Biden and
Congressman Eric Cantor chaired the commission to work out a deal.
However, on June 23, 2011 both Cantor and Kyl walked out on those
meetings because the Democrats were wanted to phase out the current
tax breaks to the wealthiest 2% - which would reduce the federal
deficit by $2 trillion dollars. The New York Times quoted McConnell
and Kyl in a joint statement saying “President Obama needs to
decide between his goal of higher taxes, or a bipartisan plan to address
our deficit. He can’t have both. But we need to hear from him.
Speaking to the Right Winged and Koch Brother Funded
Heritage Foundation (the beneficiaries of these tax cuts to the wealthiest
2%) last fall, McConnell stated his priority is to “deny President
Obama a second term.” McConnell is willing to wreck the economy to
insure a Republican President in the White House in 2013. He couldn’t
care less about the damage he is doing to working families, because his
entire efforts are in support of the wealthiest 2%. He recently attended
the Koch Brothers conference for the wealthy and their supporters. He
is taking his orders directly from two of the richest men in the world.
Cutting federal spending is somewhat interesting if you are
Mitch McConnell, because his state has one of the greatest returns
on their federal tax dollars. For every $1 Kentucky residents send to
Washington, they receive $1.51 back. As a matter of fact there are
only eight states that receive a higher return on their tax dollars than
Kentucky. McConnell loudly opposed the President’s budget that
cut coal subsidies to Kentucky by $2.3 billion over ten years. Over
the past 15 years Kentucky has received over $3 billion in farm subsidies,
while less than 35% of Kentucky farmers receive subsidies.
McConnell also can to the defense of oil companies stating that NO
cuts would come to oil subsidies as part of a debt reduction deal.
McConnell and Boehner are set up blocking any attempt to
raise the debt ceiling, insisting that cuts to Medicare, Social Security,
Unemployment, student loans and many other social programs are necessary
to protect tax cuts for the wealthy and subsidies to oil, coal and
other of their special interest. The federal debt should be a concern
to everyone, but we must remember it has been the loss of revenue
due to tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and corporations that have
mounted this debt. These “fiscal hawks” didn’t care about deficits
when it was a Republican President taking a record surplus and turning
it into a record deficit doling out your tax dollars to the wealthy.
Each working class American needs to look hard at
the positions McConnell, Boehner, Canter and Kyl are taking
and ask themselves “are they truly looking out for me?”
The answer is simple- they are not. They are protecting the
Koch’s of the world at the expense of the working class.

The Shop Committee would like to thank the
membership for your patience and support
through the HSA transition process. Approximately
500 employees have transitioned as of
August 1. The coverage will start January 1,
2012. To date, 41 employees have signed up for
retirement.
UAW Region 3, Indiana and Kentucky,
have welcomed approximately 6,000 new members.
This is great news considering the growing
issues unions are facing. Companies want
part-time employees. The transplant automakers
of the world do not want to pay for benefits, insurance
and paid vacation/holidays. Instead of
a “temporary/contract” employee, 50% of their
workforce is part time.
The implemented suggestions are still being
processed. The progress has been slow, but
we continue to move forward.
The printing of our 2011 National and Local
Contract Agreements has been delayed. As of
August 1, 2011, Rolls-Royce purchasing has yet
to issue a purchase order to the union printer. We
will provide books to the membership as soon as
we receive them.
Please join us at the Local 933 Union Hall
for the Mark Allen Poker Run on September
10, 2011. All proceeds donated to the March of
Dimes, “working together for stronger, healthier
babies.” We hope to see a big turn out!

Of Budgets, Taxes and Deficits
by LUPA Advisory Council Chair John Davis, Region 8, Local 2195
These days the media is filled with talk of the deficit and ways to correct
the problem. The deficit is, and should be, a concern to all Americans.
However, conservatives have been hawking the evils of the
deficit while pointing fingers and screaming cuts. But it’s important to
understand the real cause of the deficit. To understand the issue fully,
we need to go back to where the problem began.
History lesson
In 2000 the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office reported a surplus
of over $40 billion dollars – after the over collection of Social
Security was factored out. It is important to remember that every year
since its inception Social Security collected more each year than was
paid out, with the surplus being set aside to handle the retirement of
the Baby Boomers. When 2010 began, the federal deficit was $13.3
trillion dollars. $2.5 trillion of that were treasury bonds, money the
federal government owes the Social Security Trust Fund because of
past administrations skimming money out if the surplus. In ten years
we went from a $40 billion surplus to a $13.3 trillion deficit. So, where
did the money go?
Budgets
A budget is simply an accounting method to balance income against
expenses. Most households have one. To make it work is simple: Calculate
your income and then deduct your expenses. From 2000 to 2008
there were unfunded wars, a Medicare prescription drug plan that ballooned
costs for seniors and the federal government while padding the
pockets of the big pharmaceutical companies and, most important, tax
cuts for the wealthy. While spending increased during those years, the
reduction in revenue led to the huge gap between income and spending,
erasing the surplus and replacing it with a $10.7 trillion dollar
deficit by December 2008.
The government tracks the deficit by calculating the amount
we owe compared to the gross domestic product (GDP). The GDP is
the market value of goods and services produced in the country within
a given period of time. The ideal situation is when the debt grows at a
lower rate than the GDP, with 3 percent being the goal. The Congressional
Budget Office currently projects the percent of debt to GDP
would be 6.1 percent by 2021. However, the CBO also states the deficit
percentage of the GDP would only be 3.6 percent by 2021 by doing
nothing but allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire. David Stockman,
President Reagan’s budget director, recently was quoted as saying “In
1982, we were looking at the jaws of the worst recession since the
1930s. We overdid it in 1981, cut taxes too much. We came back with a
big deficit reduction plan in 1982. Unemployment’s at 10 percent, the
economy is in dire shape, and we raise taxes by 1.2 percent of GDP,
which would be $150 billion a year right now — not 10 years down the
road — but right now.”
Medicare and Social Security
Two of the targets of the current “fiscal hawks” are Medicare and Social
Security. The architect of the proposed Republican budget, Congressman
Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said “We need to dismantle Medicare
and replace it with a voucher system.” Every legitimate study, including
the Congressional Budget Office, said this is a terrible idea. For
the record, Ryan wants to take the money the government spends on
Medicare and use it to fund further tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent.
Next on his hit list is Social Security. Since its inception Social Security
has taken in more every year than it paid out. If this is the case,
Page 10 - Summer 2011
where has the surplus gone? The federal government has used Social
Security as a private trust fund for years, going back to President Johnson.
The surplus has been used time and time again to supplement government
spending. President Johnson began tapping Social Security to
cover some of the cost of the Vietnam War, but nothing to the extent
that President Bush did to cover the war in Iraq. Of the $13.5 trillion
the federal government owes, $2.5 trillion is money owed to the Social
Security Trust Fund. The bulk of that was spent on the war in Iraq with
most going to military contractors.
That money that has been robbed to be given to companies
like Halliburton has been taken away from working-class Americans
who have paid into it for their retirement. Now, Paul Ryan and his buddies
want to cut your benefits and give that money to the wealthiest 2
percent and corporations.
The concern for years has been the retirement of the baby
boomers and the extra strain on Social Security. However, the Congressional
Budget Office has repeatedly reported that Social Security
was in better shape than some politicians would have us believe. Projections
show the surplus to continue until 2020. Recent reductions
in Social Security collections are the result of higher unemployment
and less people paying payroll and Social Security taxes. As unemployment
improves, those numbers should stabilize and boost Social
Security further. Finally, we need to remember that Social Security is
self-sustaining and does not add to the federal deficit. The only part of
the federal debt that includes Social Security is the treasury bonds the
federal government owes for raiding the Social Security Trust Fund
during President Bush’s years in office.
When Paul Ryan made his pitch for the proposed Republican
budget he stated that “Domestic spending has to be cut because the
President had increased the deficit by 85 percent.”
That’s not true.
According to the Congressional Budget Office the deficit has
gone up 27 percent in the past two years. Remember, President Bush
took office in 2000 with a $40 billion surplus and we ended last year
with a $13.3 trillion dollar deficit. President Obama can claim responsibility
for 27 percent or $3.5 trillion of it. That money has been spent
on the stimulus package which at last count has created over 570,000
jobs, saved the U.S. auto industry which is paying back those loans,
extended unemployment benefits to millions of laid off workers, helped
families avoid foreclosure and reformed a broken health care system
that will provide health care for all Americans and, in the long run according
to the Congressional Budget Office, actually lower the deficit.
That means 73 percent of the deficit belongs to Republicans or $10.7
trillion, which was used to bail out banks, fund a Medicare prescription
drug plan that moved the cost efficient program to private companies
increasing costs to seniors and the government, provide giveaways to
military contractors, mostly Halliburton, and pay for tax breaks that
mostly went to America’s wealthiest percent. Now, the GOP wants to
dismantle Medicare to give even more tax breaks to that same wealthiest
2 percent. Republicans stole trillions from Social Security to give
it to wealthy corporations now they want working class Americans to
take cuts to pay for it their money being given away.
The deficit is something that should concern us all, but it requires
a common sense approach to reduce it. Those who benefitted
from the actions that created the deficit need to step up and help correct
it. Allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for the wealthiest 2 percent
would go a long way toward reducing the deficit.
Don’t be fooled by Paul Ryan and his Tea Party pals. Their
proposed budget cuts are nothing more than a continuation of eight
years of redistribution of wealth from the majority of Americans who
are at the bottom of the food chain to the few at the top.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
INDIANA HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER PAT BAUER:
GOP RESUMES ITS ATTACK ON WORKING HOOSIERS
INDIANAPOLIS —— Indiana House Democratic Leader
B. Patrick Bauer of South Bend issued the following
statement as the Interim Study Committee on Employment
Issues began hearings on making Indiana a “right to
work” state:
“Today resumes the attack on working men and women
in Indiana by the Republicans in charge of Indiana state
government and the corporate bosses who fund their
campaigns.
“Their tool is an innocent-sounding Trojan Horse called
‘right to work.’
“There is nothing innocent about ‘right to work.’ It is a
well-financed effort by corporate interests to line their
pockets by cutting the pay of workers, reducing their benefits,
and eliminating workplace safety standards.
“During the 2011 legislative session, Indiana House
Democrats joined forces with thousands of workers
across this state to stop House Republicans from enacting
this legislation. The fight now has moved to the interim
between legislative sessions, where the public’s attention
is not as great.
“But no one should believe that ‘right to work’ is a good
idea at any time.
“Consider the following:
“The average worker in a ‘right to work’ state makes
more than $5,300 less than a worker in other states, according
to the Bureau of Labor Standards.
“‘Right to work’ states have a poverty level of 12.5 percent,
compared to 10.2 percent in other states, according
to the U.S. Census Bureau.
“Workers injured on the job in ‘right to work’ states receive
lesser benefits.
“Workplace deaths are more than 50 percent higher in
‘right to work’ states.
“Any reasonable person would look at those numbers and
think that ‘right to work’ is a bad deal for Indiana.
“But the forces that drive this effort do not care about
workers. They care only about bigger profits. They believe
that ‘right to work’ can achieve that goal by lowering pay
and benefits for those workers.
“In a state where the current administration has no discernible
job creation program, ‘right to work’ passes for
economic development.
“The threat now is that these forces will attempt to pass
‘right to work’ during the 2012 session of the Indiana
General Assembly. Their hope is that they can achieve this
goal without getting too much public attention.
“Their approach will not work. It did not work during
the 2011 legislative session, it won’t work in this interim
between sessions, and it won’t work if they try and sneak
‘right to work’ into law in 2012.
“‘Right to work’ is bad for everyone who cares about the
people of this state.
“With State Reps. David Niezgodski (D-South Bend) and
Kreg Battles (D-Vincennes) serving as our spokesmen on
this committee, Indiana House Democrats will do everything
in their power to focus the public’s attention on this
horrible idea, and make sure that the people of Indiana
have every chance to stop it in its tracks.”
