                 RAIDING THE SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to oppose the President's 
budget and the Republicans' budget.
  Some months ago, this House stood almost unanimously and said we 
would put the Social Security monies in a lockbox. The lockbox is 
smashed. We are spending Social Security, $1.6 trillion of it, in this 
budget resolution that is before us today. In addition, Medicare is 
being cut billions of dollars.
  Our seniors, who have built this country, have no medical insurance. 
Our health care industry is about to crash. This budget resolution is a 
sham.
  Come on, Republicans, we can do a lot better. Let us take care of 
America's people and America's seniors.
