Mr. Maddox meets the highest standards of integrity, competence, and temperament.

I do not believe that assigning this responsibility to some commission that acts behind closed doors is the way to do it.

You can't have a dialogue and debate without everybody putting their positions on the table on Social Security.

Another revenue option that I put forward in the past was to take the estate tax back to where it was in 2009.

I haven't seen any proposal from our Republican colleagues on how to make sure that we prevent this 23 percent cut in about a decade.

I don't think there's anything immutable about 18 percent revenues as a share of GDP.

Those making more than $400,000.00 in investment income would contribute just like those who are earning wages.

My Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act would fix that by requiring contributions to Social Security on wages above $400,000.00.

I urge his confirmation, recommend favorable action by this Committee.

Judge Maddox will safeguard the rights of all Marylanders and uphold the Constitution.

Make no mistake, if you are unwilling to even consider new revenue, or making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share, then you are essentially saying that the only option left for Social Security are benefit cuts.

It should be totally uncontroversial to suggest that we find ways to increase Social Security's revenue in order to extend its solvency.

Sharing that demanding and fulfilling experience of public service... set them on the path that now brings them before the Committee.

Well, that is obviously a good-news story for the economy.

I very much support the decision you and your colleagues made to pause the increase in interest rates.

For lower-wage workers, the people who are working paycheck to paycheck, real wages are up.
