On the recordMarch 1, 2000
There can be nothing I can imagine that can be more unfair to our working senior Americans than to be told that under the law of this land that they are required to pay into the Social Security program all their working years, and then at that time in their life when they are entitled to withdraw the benefits that they paid for, that the government of the United States is going to take those benefits away if they have the audacity to continue work. Many of us have seen the injustice of this, and so many of us have worked on it over the years and had so many years of frustration. ... it is just such a heart-warming thing for me today to see us passing this legislation with such bipartisan support. The President committed to sign it, and we will finally have a real act of justice and fairness for today's working seniors.
