Big-City Mayors

The most important thing that we could do and the most important thing that we could address is this yawning gap between the ever-rising beneficiaries.

That 68 million number that you cited was also what I cited during my confirmation just four months ago, but now it is 71 million.

But the only way to fix it is to put more resources and expand the number of people who can address the problem.

Hopefully, the bill that's coming through, the minibus, I guess we're calling it, will help to address this in an immediate way.

The President has proposed having people once they make $400,000, pay again into Social Security.

That 68 million number that you cited was also what I cited during my confirmation just four months ago, but now it is 71 million.

To avoid the 20 to 23 percent cut which is currently scheduled in 2034, Congress would need to make some changes in order to extend it.

The good news is that this program has the support of 80 percent of the American people in a time of pretty polarized politics.

As a country, we must acknowledge and assess these risks, threats, and vulnerabilities and decide how to effectively respond.

Another concern that I have is, in the United States, 80 percent of the cranes that we operate in our port system are built by communist China.

The Republican Party is responsible today now for the conditions that persist because of their unwillingness to work with this president.

The conditions are much more pernicious than they even appear. These guys are not just restricting the rights, self-determination to bear a child for a young child – young woman.

He supports a national ban. And if you're Lindsey Graham and others, they're going to bring that down well below 16.

Donald Trump is a bipartisan predator.
