Where in the Constitution does it say you need 60 votes to pass a bill?

the Republican Study Committee's most recent budget plan would cut the annual cost of living adjustments by using the Chained Consumer Price Index.

Back home in Michigan, two million seniors rely on Social Security.

Five million of our fellow Americans get below-poverty-level checks, having worked all their lives.

Of the more than slightly over 1.2 million people who have perished in this pandemic, 855,000 were over the age of 65.

we are going to need to have to fund Social Security. We are not going to be able to solve this problem by cutting Social Security, and cutting benefits, and cutting the agencies so that they can deal with this problem.

I completely concur with him that there is--that is a travesty, what happened to Governor Noem.

we better get prepared really quick to deal with this. And that is not going to be something that we say we can reshuffle the agency and they are going to be able to do this on their own.

But we have to make sure that we are providing the funding that is needed, and further investigate technologically.

I am honored to join my colleagues. I was fortunate to hear the ``deaness'' of our delegation speak earlier. I am not very good at farewells or good-byes. I am far better at hellos. We could never say goodbye to such an engaging…

not one witness has suggested that we cut funding to the Social Security Administration or to the recipients who receive Social Security as a solution to combating identity theft.

I want to associate myself with his remarks.

How many people are in that area of earning over $400,000, and is it fair that someone who is making 30 or 50 or $75,000 pays in the whole time, and someone like Elon Musk stops paying after day one for their Social Security?

I commend the President for his budget that increases the opportunity, and makes Medicare more solvent, and also strengthens Social Security, and it does so, actually, by paying for it.

I regrettably missed the vote on H. Con. Res. 21. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 136.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I appreciate the passion on this other side. I think this passion and engagement has to be brought forward to the Nation's number one insurance program. It is not an entitlement. It is an earned benefit…

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for yielding. Madam Speaker, first and foremost, today should be a day of celebration. Madam Speaker, 83 years ago today, Ida Mae Fuller received the first Social Security check. It is the Nation's…
