“in a letter to me and others who fought this issue, they polled their constituents and of them a thousand registered voters. That survey showed a confidence level of 95 percent that the Senate was doing the right thing to pass the balanced budget amendment. When people were asked if they supported the Senate's passage, 79 percent overwhelmingly said yes, but the confidence level--and this was a Wirthlin poll, this was not just a few phone calls, this was a professionally nationally respected polling company--found out that the seniors of America do support a balanced budget amendment. They know of their future and the future of their grandchildren, and they want it to be bright. While they want their Social Security check, they do not want to bust the future of the country and the future of their children.”
