They Voted For It Then Why Not Now
November 18th 01:41:03 AM
On the Senate floor Senator Santorum pointed out that Senators, including all Democrats, voted in favor of a resolution similar to the bill that he has introduced. This makes the expected filibuster of the Santorum bill seem very disengenuous.
"Senators, including every Senate Democrat, in a rollcall vote, voted for the Graham-Santorum amendment to the budget resolution. If we look at the language, I will point to the part A. It says that Social Security reform 'must protect current and near term retirees from any changes to Social Security benefits.'
So what the Social Security Guarantee Act does, which I am proposing, is to actually make it a Federal law, not just a resolution, something that we all think is a good idea, which is what a resolution is, but actually put legislative language in place, put something in law that says that your benefits are guaranteed, your cost-of-living increases are guaranteed in the Federal law which, contrary to what most seniors believe, is not the case. There is a Supreme Court case from 1960 which says that there is, in fact, no legal right that you have."
