“While my friend was coming to the floor, I made an analogy. Willie Sutton, probably the most famous bank robber of all time, after he was apprehended and in jail, was interviewed, and they said--I do not know if they called him ``Willie'' or ``Mr. Sutton,'' but they said, ``Why did you rob banks?'' He was very succinct and to the point. ``Because that's where the money was.'' And that is why they are doing what they are doing here, I say to my friend. They are going after Social Security because that is where the money is. There are huge surpluses in the Social Security trust fund. There are other trust funds but they are dribbles and drabs compared with the $80 billion this year alone. So they are going after this money because that is where it is.”
