I believe that Social Security is the single most successful domestic program of the 20th century and it is our solemn obligation to preserve it and continue it and strengthen it for the 21st century.

Wishes and hopes and optimism are not public policy. Be careful what you are asking for here. There are real- life examples across our country with what this did to our democracy. Understand the damage you are about to do. Mr. Chair, I…
