in ``Alice in Wonderland'' they say it is curiouser and curiouser. Our friends on the other side are saying $3.5 trillion is a gnat. Yes, I confess, I am a conservative. I think $3 trillion is a lot of money. Somehow, I think stealing it from working people is wrong. That is what it is. They stole everything out of the Social Security, and now they are wanting to steal it out of another big pie. They see this $3.5 trillion. We have a social agenda, and we are going to use this money for our purposes. That is exactly what it is; it is stealing people's money. Nothing, nothing else matters in this Congress but to steal money. This is people's pension money. Keep your hands off of people's retirement, keep your hands off the pension.
