If there is a train wreck, Mr. Speaker, it is for one reason. It is because the Democrats are in an election year, and they are running for their lives. They are slapping on the camouflage, and they are sneaking up, they are crawling up that hill, going toward that railroad track, and they are planting the dynamite. They are planting the demolition chargers, and they are trying to blow it all up because they know one thing. If this train makes it to the station, they lose. That is unfortunate. Because in America, it does not have to be win-lose. It can be win-win. When we had our conversation with America, when we went to town meetings across the country, Americans in Iowa, Americans in Minnesota, in Connecticut, in Ohio, South Carolina, all across the Nation said that they wanted to have some goals in this budget put firmly in place. Protect 100 percent of Social Security.
