Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about our retired teachers, police officers, firefighters, letter carriers, and nurses, and the fact that, for decades, Congress has kept or stolen the Social Security benefits that they paid for and earned but have yet to receive. The Social Security Fairness Act will fix this. Millions of retired public servants will get their benefits each and every month moving forward. This bipartisan effort is the most cosponsored bill in this 118th Congress. Yesterday, we hit a major milestone with 218 signatures on a discharge petition, forcing a vote on the Social Security Fairness Act. Mr. Speaker, I am ready to vote ``yes'' when this bill comes to the floor. Let's get it done. ____________________
