“Because they believe, in my opinion, we will do whatever is necessary to fund the key things that are important. I am sure down there they have taken into consideration the programs they say they are going to cut. I believe this is just a prelude to having these people accomplish indirectly what they can't do directly; that is, decimate and in effect void the Social Security laws that have been in effect for this country for more than 70 years. Those people do not believe in Social Security. They don't believe in Social Security. I carry this with me, because I want people to know I don't make this up. It is my wallet. It is kind of worn. I am not going to read all of it. But let me just read a couple of statements from Senator Robert Dole, our friend, who is a nice man and does a good job now on television being a commentator. This is a direct quote. He said: I was there fighting the fight, one of 12 voting against Medicare because we knew it wouldn't work in 1965. He is one of the patriarchs of the Republican Party who gives advice and counsel to the President of the United States today. He doesn't like Medicare, and most other people at the White House do not like Medicare. Listen to this one: Medicare has no place in a free world. I am not making this up.”
