“let us talk about what the real agenda is and what the real problem is with sticking the term ``Social Security'' in the constitutional amendment. What you do then is you open a huge lobbyists' loophole in the Constitution, because what would happen is that anybody who wanted to bring some social welfare spending approach to Capitol Hill would simply call it ``Social Security.'' Do you want to have mighnight basketball? Fine, call it ``Social Security.'' Do you want to have the Corporation for Public Broadcasting continue to get money? Call it ``Social Security.'' Do you want to have the NEA to continue to get its funding for pornographic art, just call it ``Social Security.'' Every lobbyist coming to Capitol Hill asking for more spending would simply call it ``Social Security'' and say therefore it is not covered by the balanced budget. That would destroy Social Security. Do you want the surest formula for destroying Social Security? Just put it in the Constitution in a form that people can use it to destroy the system. That would be the wrong thing to do on this floor today.”
