Blake Moore: “I would like to yield 3 minutes to my colleague from Illinois, Representative Jan Schakowsky.”

As America celebrates our 250th year, it’s only fitting that we recognize the sacrifices made that allow us the freedom we have today.

There’s no way around it — we have to reform these programs if we want to save them, if we want to make them more sustainable, we have to do it.

We’re in a far worse fiscal situation than we were back then to make some tweaks and changes.

I am thrilled that my bill has passed the House today and look forward to the President’s signature.
