We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
To make that a reality we have to move the conversation in Congress away from harmful ideas like privatizing the program and cutting seniors' benefits.
I would ask if you would send us a list who they are that are dragging their feet on this.
In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.
