Harry Reid said "I want to spread across this record one reason this debate has been so fruitful is that during the unfunded mandates debate, the Senator from Iowa offered a sense-of-the-Senate resolution to exclude Social Security from the balanced budget amendment. But for the Senator's aggressiveness on that matter during the days we spent debating that, we would not be in the posture we are today. This Senator from Nevada and the other 14 cosponsors extend to the Senator our appreciation." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

I want to spread across this record one reason this debate has been so fruitful is that during the unfunded mandates debate, the Senator from Iowa offered a sense-of-the-Senate resolution to exclude Social Security from the balanced budget amendment. But for the Senator's aggressiveness on that matter during the days we spent debating that, we would not be in the posture we are today. This Senator from Nevada and the other 14 cosponsors extend to the Senator our appreciation.
