On the recordMarch 3, 1999
Who is kidding whom? The only surplus in Washington, D.C., is in the Social Security trust fund. The truth is, Social Security money coming in one door today is going out the other door tomorrow, because the facts are very clear. The Social Security trust fund is a big basket full of IOUs. The reason is very simple: Politicians from both parties have reached in and borrowed money from the Social Security trust fund and have not repaid it. Billions and billions of dollars. Beam me up. Now we are saying Social Security is going to run out of money. I say not one dime of Social Security should be used for anything but Social Security. I yield back any economic common sense that may be left down here.
