The bedrock commitment made is being undermined by the most powerful man in our country and the richest man in the world. The title of the article, ``Social Security faces a crisis with staff cuts and closures,'' written by, again, somebody who worked under a Republican, somebody who worked under a Democrat. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have that printed in the Record.…”
