On the recordMay 23, 2002

I think the rhetoric here has been inaccurate on both sides of the aisle. I do not think any of us should be in the business of trying to misinform senior citizens. I do not think it works. I think senior citizens are smart enough to know that it is not accurate. We ought to be honest about how Social Security is funded amongst ourselves and in the debate on the floor. I commend the gentleman for his willingness to correct the record.
