Bill Pascrell

We must also guard against terror and hate at home.

No one should face hatred, no one should face vitriol because of their heritage.

During rollcall Vote No. 623 on amendment 2 to H.R. 4664, I mistakenly recorded my vote as ``aye'' when I should have voted ``no.'' Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Grothman The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a…

Nine members of one family were killed because they would not give up their house to Russian troops so they could stay there. Yet, we are finagling and we are dividing while Ukraine burns. What are you doing for Ukraine? What are…

Surrendering to Russia. Weak on China. Are we serious about Israel? We are ignoring the humanitarian crisis which exists there. This is strong for millionaire tax cheats. These are the House Republican priorities. Madam Speaker, I am tired…

It will increase the deficit while our allies need help. That makes a lot of sense. Israelis and Palestinians need our help. Humanitarian and defensive aid is a bare minimum. Ukraine needs our leadership. Russian soldiers have been…

Far from Social Security saviors, I think the majority insists on seeking its destruction because they have a better idea.

Congress needs to act to do something about it.

Let's not forget a House Republican, Mr. Chairman, brought our nation to the brink of devastating default with the debt ceiling debacle.

We are so anxious to move into an automation world. For the last 60 years we have been so anxious to do that.

Social Security is one of America's greatest success stories. Forty percent of seniors, fifty percent of disabled beneficiaries will live in poverty without Social Security.

Enough dishonesty and misdirection. We either sit down, we either work this out, or Social Security will not be here.

I think we can sit down and compromise and get to some final solution, if you would call it.

I look at this hearing as a kind of smokescreen, a cover-up for the majority's extremist agenda to gut Social Security.

Even if we can avoid those cuts, we need a lot of changes in the policy of delivering service.

We have a sacred responsibility to address the actual challenges facing Social Security.

Additional resources without a plan won't solve the problem.

We must eliminate the mandatory five-month waiting period for disability benefits, as my friend John Larson's Social Security 2100 Act would do.

I want to continue your last line of questioning. I associate myself with what you were saying and what you are implying here, because this is not simply going to be solved by putting more resources and money.

But there is a problem. Money is part of the solution, but policies probably are a greater part of the solution.

I think that is a good model example for a lot of Federal agencies.

It is imperative that, when seeking solutions, we refrain from shaming our workers and lying about our strong economy.

It is good when you see bipartisanship. It happens so infrequently up here.

Every Democratic member on this panel worked very closely with the President to include $2 billion.

We can't legislate directly identity theft. That is my contention.
