Dan Sullivan said "Social Security is one of our Nation's most successful anti-poverty and retirement programs. Currently, 45 million seniors, their spouses, and their dependents receive Social Security benefits. The strength and viability of this program is a priority for all Members of Congress, Republican, Democrat, and Independent alike. Our Democrat colleagues, however, claim that this budget will somehow endanger Social Security and erode the ability of the Social Security trust fund to pay benefits. Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that this budget will not have any impact on the status of the Social Security trust funds whatsoever; is that correct?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
