                            SOCIAL SECURITY

  (Ms. FUDGE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FUDGE. Madam Speaker, for almost 75 years, Social Security has 
helped Americans save for retirement and has provided the supplemental 
income they could count on in their golden years. For almost as long, 
congressional Republicans have attacked Social Security and are doing 
so yet again.
  The Republicans' efforts are unconscionable and inexcusable. They 
fail to realize Social Security is earned, not gifted, to American 
workers. It comes from a lifetime of hard work and investment.
  Democrats will not let Republicans play politics with this benefit. 
They will not and must not succeed in robbing seniors of the benefits 
they have earned and deserve.
