Democrats all seem to be agreeing with Harry Reid, that Social Security is the "most successful program in the history of the world."
Oh really?
"What should we do with this projected surplus? I have a simple four-word answer: Save Social Security first." PRESIDENT CLINTON, COINING THE FAMOUS DEMOCRATIC SLOGAN, STATE OF THE UNION, JAN. 27,1998
"[I]f you don't do anything, one of two things will happen. Either it will go broke and you won't ever get it, or if we wait too long to fix it, the burden on society...of taking care of our generation's Social Security obligations will lower your income and lower your ability to take care of your children...[It] would be horribly wrong and unfair to you and unfair to the future prospects of the United States." PRESIDENT CLINTON, GEORGETOWN, FEB. 9, 1998
"Perhaps our greatest opportunity and our greatest obligation at this moment is to save Social Security...It would be unconscionable if we failed to act, and act now..." PRESIDENT CLINTON, TOWN HALL MEETING, KANSAS CITY, APRIL 7, 1998
"Durbin said due to the increasing number of ˜baby boomers reaching retirement age, Social Security will be unable to pay out full benefits...but the sooner Congress acts to avert this crisis the easier and less painful it will be." - SEN. DICK DURBIN (D, IL), "REFORMING SOCIAL SECURITY," PRESS RELEASE, SEPT. 15, 1998
"Social Security faces a serious fiscal crisis...Save Social Security first!" - VICE PRESIDENT GORE, WITH DICK GEPHARDT, TED KENNEDY, BARBARA BOXER, AND OTHER DEMOCRATS AT SOCIAL SECURITY (AND ANTI-TAX-CUT) RALLY ON CAPITOL STEPS, SEPT. 25, 1998
"Fixing Social Security is an urgent priority." - SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D, ND), QUOTED IN ROLL CALL, DEC 6, 1999
Thanks to Rush, America's truth detector.
