There’s already a retirement age that has been increasing gradually for a certain cohort, and that’s one of the changes you could make, and that would seem to make sense because people are living longer.

My view is that this will need to be done on a bipartisan basis.

We can ensure that the system continues to exist for young people, exceeding their expectations.

We can make it sustainable.

I think this requires a conversation, a broad conversation with the American people, talk about … what it is that we can do to change, to make good on the promises on Social Security, but also change the fiscal trajectory.

The question is, if someone has very high income during retirement age, should they really be able to access Social Security in the same way that someone in poverty does?

We can’t allow that to happen, and the only way you address that is to start being serious and realistic about the math problem and the demographics.

You’ll probably have to do something on the payroll half of the money being paid into the system.

People like the four seasons here... But we have a lot of people who are relying on these programs… and we have seen fraud across the system in federal programs.

The allegations are really disturbing just as they are in Minnesota and other places where we've seen this.

Congratulations to @pulte on your appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence! Grateful for your service as you take on this key role helping President Trump and his administration protect our nation.

There are just a few outstanding issues. I think everyone will get to yes.

We must hold that line on fiscal discipline to put the country back on a sustainable path.

Again, with what I started with, it is very important we get this resolution done. There is a better path forward. We have an amendment that could be passed in this resolution that would satisfy where the Senate is, where the House is. As…

I would be concerned about sending a signal to the markets that neither party cares at all about the debt.

I want to see something that is enforceable.

If people can’t decide now that we can agree on some floor for spending cuts, then it probably won’t happen later.

It doesn't. Republicans are working to stop those tax hikes by passing this budget resolution. President Trump was elected by the working class, and this budget will deliver on the promises he made to them. I am very proud to support this…

We have to fix this. We can do it. This panel isn't far apart.

The Biden Administration has absolutely failed the American people with what they are allowing to happen on the border

So you think we should increase our legal immigration?

Do you think we should welcome productive individuals who want to be productive members of our society to come here?

Do you think we should stop the flow of illegal immigration?

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act worked. It grew the economy. It increased revenue and it helped every American family to achieve a better life. It also, for those in opposition to this bill, for the first time, required a Social Security number…
