[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 16] [House] [Page 23346] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]BE HONEST WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Social Security is in trouble, and I am not going to blame either party. There is enough blame to go around on everybody. Congress has tried Gramm-Rudman, budget caps, lockboxes, and now some in Congress even want to create a zodiac ploy of a 13th month. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Let us be honest. As long as Social Security money is there, available to be spent, it will be spent, by both parties. I say it is time for a constitutional amendment that says Social Security money can only be used for Social Security and Medicare. Let us be honest with the American people. I yield back all the good intentions of Congress that have not worked and will not work about Social Security. ____________________
