Sheldon Whitehouse actually said...

"Social Security is the bedrock of retirement security, and the nation's most effective anti-poverty program."

"So income inequality has a pernicious effect on Social Security solvency unless we take steps to address both income inequality and Social Security solvency, which I contend my bill would do."

"the only ways to ensure Social Security remains solvent is to either raise revenue, or cut benefits"

"my Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act would fix that by requiring contributions to Social Security on wages above $400,000.00."
