“I say to the Senator, in all due respect, that is a whole lot better than doing nothing at this time, when he knows and I know if it is there to be taken--let's just take what the President did. The President said, ``I want to protect Social Security,'' and said, ``but I want to use 38 percent of it for other spending programs.'' This would eliminate this money being used for those other spending programs. This would allow the money to be used to pay down the debt and give us a little time in the meantime to come up with a real reform of that Social Security program. We know that is something this Congress is going to have to do if we really want to guarantee to the next generation that there will be something there for them.”
