I believe that the Republicans have found a sound, logical, and fair plan to save the Social Security trust fund. The Republican budget surplus plan, the 90-10 plan, sets aside 90 percent of the general revenue surplus until we make good on our commitment to save Social Security. The other 10 percent will be used for real tax relief to the American working men and women. No smoke and mirrors here, Mr. Speaker. Republicans are fighting to use this money to shore up the Social Security trust fund and provide real tax relief to the American working families. I applaud my Republican colleagues for their hard work on this historic legislation, and I urge all Members in the House to support the 90-10 plan.
