do you want to put your security -- social security in the hands of ted cruz and marjorie taylor greenebut it's not just so security -- social security. senator scott wants everything voted out of existence. that includes medicare, veterans benefits and everything else. and then along comes senator ron johnson of wisconsin. this is their plan. he thinks five years is too long. i'm not joking. you think i'm making this up? he wants to put social security and medicare on the chopping block every single year. this is the same guy who said if republicans get control of the united states congress, they're coming after the affordable care act. denying health insurance to anyone with a pre-existing condition because if you don't have thing affordable care act, people with a pre-existing condition cannot get insurance again. just think of it as a parent or a brother or sister. looking at a brother, sister, son, daughter and you can't take care of them because they have a pre-existing condition. these guys never stop and we're never gonna stop either. my friends, we offer a starkly different ver

we call social security and earned benefit because the social security taxes we pay result in higher benefits. that is not true for most americans who choose to delay retirement. the typical worker who delays retirement by one year will receive only 2.5 cents in retirement benefits for each dollar of additional tax. that comes from certain quirks in the social security benefit formula. here retirees are particularly sensitive. unlike middle-age workers they have the option to retire. medicare also presents challenges to work in old age. medicare covers health costs beginning at age 65, but not for workers who continue to work in jobs that offer health insurance. instead medicare acts as a secondary payer and covers only what the employee plant wants. this either reduces incentives for employers to hire older americans or costs are passed on to employees. neither the social security's for the medicare fixes would be cheap. it is providing benefits to americans, providing employees to american firms, and generating new tax revenues to the federal government. a strong labor market in wh

it is not discretionary to pay into social security.ty their whole lives. it's taken out of every single paycheck. and the idea that it can be wiped out after five years, like senator scott says, or congress could just change all the benefits every year, that like senator johnson seem to suggest, shows that republicans have extreme views on social security and medicare. democrats are fighting for these programs to protect these programs, and republicans are in a very different place. >> ron, i was not one who blamed the president for the increase in gasoline prices. i'm not giving him credit for the drop in gasoline prices. am i wrong about that? does the president deserve credit for the drop of these prices? >> i think he deserves some credit, lawrence. i think fundamentally, as you say, gas prices go up and down based on a world market. and that is the bulk of price increases, price decreases. but the president did two things here that have led to one of the fastest declines in gas prices in history. the first was this historic releas

she was also the driving force behind social security. behind the 40 hour work week the ban on child labor the international fire safety code and the national labor relations act which gave workers for the first time the right to organize and form unions. perkins legacy is everywhere today and that brings us to the central question that i am raising with you tonight. who was francis perkins and how did she get so much done? how did a social worker turn herself into a miracle worker. that's what i'm planning to tell you about tonight. going to start with a short reading from my book. from the prologue from the woman behind the new deal on a chilly february night in 1933 a middle-aged woman waited expectantly to meet with her employer at his residence on east 65th street in new york city. she clutched to scrap of paper with hastily written notes. finally ushered into his study the one brushed aside her nervousness and spoke confidently. they bannered casually for a while as was their style then she turned serious her dark luminous eyes hold

it's 68 million were on social security. when we shut the u.s. economy down, about 116 million people receive their income through programs that francis perkins established through programs that their own past earnings and titled them to receive. there are 259 million adults in the u.s. so just make that clear, 45% of americans were dependent on these key new deal programs last year. 45%, almost half. so what else did she do? the fair labor standards act, passed in 1938 set the standard of the 40 hour work week. a minimum wage which she hoped would be a living wage, a challenge that remains for us all. a ban on child labor and the concept of overtime pay for workers asked to work long hours. this is a genius idea because it allows workers to work longer hours mostly if they wish to do so at higher pay. but punishes employers financially if they ask for a it too often. major she was a major supporter of the federal housing administration, what we call death h a insurance program to help buy people buy houses which allowed people to purchase health

am i getting my social security check in time?i may eventually get it but it might be two or three weeks late. that is a big cost to impose on people when you are going to fix it later anyhow. there is no reason to put the economy through this when you know the only thing to do is to raise the debt ceiling. rep. schakowsky: we have shut down the government before for a time and we've seen public services stop, we have seen such a halting in the ability of ordinary people to get things done. to have this conversation, let's find another way. this doesn't make sense and is very hurtful. i yield back. chair yarmuth: i recognize the gentleman from georgia. rep. carter: thank you. thank you to the witnesses for being here. the premise of this hearing is absurd. i can't believe we are having a hearing to talk about doing away with the debt limit, you've gotta be kidding me. it is obvious the negative consequences of out-of-control spending. inflation is at a 40 year high right now. do you realize that? a 40 year high. instead of debatin
