“One thing I think for senior citizens, and I meet with them all the time, most senior citizens, they lived through the Great Depression and World War II. They want to do what is right for this country. In fact, a lot of them resent the fact that most Americans think all seniors want is more, more, more. That is not necessarily true. Some of their organizations that, so called, represent them up here say that, but the seniors back home do not always feel that way. I had an interesting conversation on the phone last week with a constituent who lives in a very, very large mobile home park, these are not wealthy retirees. This lady was from Indianapolis. He was in fact leaving this Saturday to go back to Indianapolis, 84 years old, lost her husband recently. She is getting this extra money from Social Security. I do not need it. This debt is bad. How can I get my check, give it back, and have it applied to the debt. I do not want to just give it to the government to spend more money. She wanted to give it back to the government to pay down its debt. I thought that was very noble of her, and I called and we chatted on the phone the other day. That makes me feel so good. They know there is a problem there. They know it is not right for their grandchildren and this country and future generations, they are willing to do their share.”
