On the recordJuly 26, 2002
I bring up a subject that I have been speaking about frequently. That is our Social Security system, one that I believe the American people deserve to have a debate about before the election in November. There have been many attempts to put off this debate until after the election so we can decide policy that will truly impact the American people for many, many years and decades to come. It is extremely disappointing we have had a hard time engaging in that debate. This week we actually made some progress, at least with regard to debate, not necessarily with regard to the content of the debate. I express my great disappointment and, frankly, my utter amazement about comments made this past week by the President's press secretary, Mr. Ari Fleischer, with respect to the privatization of Social Security.
