Political Quotes

“I just want to express my emotions that it is so disconcerting to have Members stand up and say, gosh, let us save Social Security. Why do they not do something to save Social Security instead of just talking about it? We have several bills introduced. The only Member on that side of the aisle, the only Democrat that has come up with a plan to save Social Security is the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Stenholm). On this side of the aisle we have got several others. We have got the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Kolbe), the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Sanford), the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter). If you do not like any of those bills, why in the world do you not bring over a bill from the Senate? Over in the Senate we have Senator Moynihan, Senator Kerrey, Senator Gregg, Senator Breaux, Senator Gramm, Senator Domenici. Have you looked at any of those bills that would save Social Security? Or do you just want to talk about it? ... Social Security is a huge problem. It is an important program. And you say this, I hear everybody say it, but I see so few do anything about it.”
