Peggy Flanagan: “I do not know a politician anywhere in America, not one, not one Democrat, not one Republican anywhere in this House…”

“I do not know a politician anywhere in America, not one, not one Democrat, not one Republican anywhere in this House that wants to cut Social Security. The biggest fig leaf is to have the distinguished Democratic whip come on the floor and offer 4 minutes and 50 seconds of remarks speaking against the resolution and then tell us he is going to support it. He does not want to cut Social Security; I do not want to cut Social Security, no Republican wants to cut Social Security. The gentlewoman from Colorado does not, I know. Nobody does. So do not stand there, do not come to the floor, do not accuse us of wanting to do that. Help us pass the resolution.”
