“I want to thank the people in my district who work for the Social Security Administration who brought this to light, some very brave people who bucked the system, who bucked the union to say that seniors' money, Social Security trust fund money, should not pay for union representation on the job. The fact is, union Members pay $4.3 million a year. Let us let the union use that to pay for people to represent them in the workplace. It is about balancing the budget, it is about being good stewards with our seniors' money. It is about doing the right thing. Please support the amendment. Please do not support the substitute.”
