“The legislation we are proposing says we either use those dollars to fix Social Security to deal with this long-term insolvency, or until we pass such legislation that we would use it to pay down the national debt. In my State, at least, I find an overwhelming number of people who feel that paying down the national debt is the one and only alternative for using these dollars. That makes sense to them because they know that will help us in the long term to address Social Security and solvency and a variety of other challenges that we face as a country.”
