                  MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I was listening with interest to the 
discussion of Medicare and these issues that confront us, what we are 
going to do--the ancient litany of a tax cut for the rich, and this 
type of activity. I just want the American people to be certain that 
they remember that Medicare will go broke in 7 years and Social 
Security will go broke in the year 2031. It would be very helpful if 
they could come forward and tell us what we should do about that.
