                 DEMOCRATIC AGENDA IS TO SCARE SENIORS

  (Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, once again this morning my Democratic 
colleagues are trying to scare this country. The facts of the case are 
that, as a result of the economic downturn of this country because of 
high taxes and more rules and regulations, more people are unemployed 
in America today than since the Great Depression. That is what will 
kill Social Security.
  Republicans are not interested in killing Social Security. They are 
interested in America having a vibrant economic output. They are 
interested in people being employed and being able to take care of 
their families. And so perhaps the Democratic message will be to scare 
seniors and scare people about what Republicans would do to Social 
Security. Let's get it right: Republicans want to make sure that we 
have a vibrant economy. We are for Social Security. We support Social 
Security. I am disappointed that the Democratic agenda is going to be--
that we heard about today--to scare seniors about their future.
