MILLIONS DEPEND ON SOCIAL SECURITY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025)] [House] [Page H1317] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] MILLIONS DEPEND ON SOCIAL SECURITY (Ms. MORRISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to voice a concern from my constituents, Jeff and Bev. Last week, Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary was speaking with another billionaire about how only fraudsters would complain about missing a Social Security check. Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary said that if Social Security didn't send out checks for a month, his mother-in-law simply would not call to complain. At the very same time, I held a townhall with my constituents where Jeff and Bev, from Bloomington, asked this question: If or when Trump ends Social Security, Bev and I will be unable to pay our mortgage. We will become homeless at age 70. What can we do? What should we do? There are tens of millions of Americans across the country like Jeff and Bev who depend on that check coming every month. On their behalf, I ask my Republican colleagues who have majority rule of this Chamber, what are they going to do to stand up for American families and stop the billionaires who are dismantling Social Security? ____________________
