Jim Nussle: “Not only are the Social Security benefits of the gentleman's grandmother safe, but all of our Social Security benefits…”

On the recordMarch 20, 2002
Not only are the Social Security benefits of the gentleman's grandmother safe, but all of our Social Security benefits are safe under this budget. By voting for this budget resolution, Members will honor their commitment to their constituents and to the seniors of America. Certainly there are concerns about Social Security on the horizon that we need to be concerned about, but this budget does not change the trust fund whatsoever. Every senior will get those benefits.
