I want to simply acknowledge that the Senator from South Carolina is, in my mind, the leader in the entire Congress on trying to make sure that we actually protect the Social Security trust fund and that it not be subject to the kind of raids it has been subjected to for the last 30 years. I give him enormous credit for that. He has been my leader on this issue. I thank him for his continued advocacy in protecting the Social Security trust fund.
