                            SOCIAL SECURITY

  (Ms. WATSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. WATSON. Mr. Speaker, on its 75th anniversary, August 14, Social 
Security is once again under assault by congressional Republicans. 
Social Security has been, for 75 years, a bedrock promise. You earned 
it with a lifetime of hard work, and it should be there for you for 
future generations.
  If Republicans had succeeded, seniors would have lost trillions more 
in the stock market meltdown of the Bush recession. But, instead, no 
one lost a penny in Social Security.
  Social Security is not the cause of our budget deficits, and benefit 
cuts should not be the solution.
