Political Quotes

“my friend from North Dakota asked two questions. Is there a plan? I have to answer that, yes, I think there is a plan, and it is not one that people who are now depending on Social Security would like. I think the plan is to raid the Social Security trust fund. The second question, do I want to vote on my amendment? The answer is yes, I think we have to have a vote on the amendment. It is the only thing that would be fair to the American public. Is the Social Security trust fund a separate trust fund? The answer to that is yes. I would also say to my friend from North Dakota that it is interesting that those Members who are pushing so hard for the Social Security exclusion are people who support the balanced budget amendment. The Senator from North Dakota and the Senator from Nevada are not people here trying to deep six the balanced budget amendment. I believe in a balanced budget amendment.”
