Tom Harkin actually said...

"Today, about one-half of all U.S. workers have absolutely no pension, no savings plan whatsoever."

"I will make sure that any legislation helps the people that deserve help."

"Pensions are supposed to be a source of stability. But today, workers and retirees are losing sleep over losing their pensions."

"I won't tolerate another boardroom bailout or let a bill go forward to give taxpayer help to companies that don't need any more of it."
