Unfortunately, due to ObamaCare, it is actually becoming harder for employers to provide their employees with affordable coverage.

Let's not throw the entire baby out with the bath water and say we are going to eliminate the estate tax, all together.

This nation was founded on the principles that if you work hard and you put your sweat equity into something...

The estate tax was originally instituted to ensure that the very wealthiest families... could contribute back to that system.

Sequestration assumes that the Nation's debt is out of control, and so, therefore, we must cut spending.

Change does not happen overnight. It is very, very important in its mission, and I think Joe Clancy is the right person to get us there.

I do not want my kids to be facing a 25 percent reduction.

So the President's plan basically doubles the retirement program's shortfall in order to give disability more money. Is that correct?

Social Security does face a challenge, but it's a manageable one, one I look forward to addressing on a bipartisan basis.

Why would we have a Disability Trust Fund that says, 'Do you know what? If you go back to work, you are going to lose your benefit.' Why? We can do better than that.

Maybe we could declare National Fix Social Security Day.

The President's proposal would align the solvency dates of the retirement and disability program to 2033; is that correct?

This is an important time for the Disability Insurance Program, and I am committed to making sure the benefits millions of Americans and their families count on are there for them, while also making the program work better.

We cannot keep kicking the can down the road. The American people want, need and deserve a solution.

It means robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I don't know if we can ever figure out how to solve the shortfall, but you all are here to help.

We have to signal seriousness in this by making sure some of the hard decisions that are made under our watch today, that they are not someone else's in the future.

We are going to improve that program, and we are going to allow you to have the greatest maximum capability of your life.

I do not think the way we fix that is cutting the Social Security Administration by 5,000 people when the work load is going up.

I will give you my public commitment, as you have given your public commitment to me, to work in a bipartisan basis to accomplish good reforms for the disabled and the recipients of these benefits.

We have to have legislation to avert that.

So if I have this right, over the next five years, the President wants to take 330 billion from the retirement program that's going broke and give it to the disability program, which will be broke next year if we don't do anything.

Well, the truth is, I say thanks to President Obama's amnesty, illegals will be getting thousands of dollars from the IRS. I feel like that is outrageous, and it is wrong. It is not fair. It is not right.

The people who get swept up by the structuring law who actually may be guilty of structuring but who most people would say have done nothing wrong are people who simply don't want the Government knowing what they are up to.

I think it would absolutely be a major improvement to allow people the opportunity for a prompt hearing, both to contest the seizure and also to present evidence of hardship.
