Patricia Schroeder: “I tell my chairman I not only am not not going to vote for this resolution, I am going to do it; and I am going to go on…”

“I tell my chairman I not only am not not going to vote for this resolution, I am going to do it; and I am going to go on and vote for a real amendment that says we are not going to let any constitutional amendment do it, because as a parent I know what this is about. This is about the theory of Congressmen saying later on to Social Security recipients, but the Constitution made me do it, and they are hoping that the people will not figure out how the Constitution made them do. Today is the day we are voting on the amendment that will say that the Constitution will make us do it and nothing will change that unless we vote for a real amendment to that constitutional amendment that takes Social Security out. I hope all Members vote for the real thing. This is a play thing, and let us be perfectly clear, we are just playing with a play thing.”
