Ways and Means Kills Inquiry into Question on Trust Fund
by the Hon. Dennis Kucinich
Last night, in a rare Monday night session, the Ways and Means
Committee of the United States House of Representative voted 22-1
against a resolution which would require the President to produce
documentation supporting his oft-repeated claim that there is no
Social Security Trust.
The action stopped a Resolution of Inquiry from proceeding to the
full House for a vote. I introduced the resolution last month after
President Bush had claimed in a meeting in New Hampshire that "there
is no Social Security trust." He has since repeated the assertion.
The implications of the President's assertions about the Social
Security trust fund are quite serious for the 48 million Americans
who currently rely on Social Security, and for those who will become
recipients in the future.
