“Who knows. All I can say is that we have held hearings on it, and we have had everything from more taxes to pay for it, which isn't very exciting to most people around here, to more government programs to pay for, to any number of other social programs to pay for, and, frankly, none of those have been picked up by either side, to be honest with you. It is apparent that we are going to have to do something to shore up Social Security in the future, and the question is this: Are we going to just make it a sinkhole where all we do is put more and more money into it or are we going to live with the reality that we are spending ourselves blind in this country? I don't see any desire on the part of my colleagues on the other side to live with that reality right now.”
