Social Security Benefits Are Your Hard-Earned Benefits

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, my message today is an alert for Social Security recipients. Pay attention to what billionaire Elon Musk is doing with your hard-earned Social Security benefits.

Musk is coming after your Social Security. The top administrator of the Social Security administration says that Musk's DOGE boys are trying to break the system entirely. That will stop your hard-earned benefits from reaching seniors and eligible recipients.

Social Security benefits are your hard-earned benefits. They don't belong to billionaire Elon Musk. Americans work hard to earn their Social Security retirement and be secure as they age. Social Security has been around since Franklin Roosevelt created the program nearly 100 years ago.

Social Security accounts are yours, and it is a sacrilege to do anything to disturb them. You might think about President Trump; he inherited all of his money. He didn't have to work.

Mr. Speaker, we have to do everything possible to protect Social Security for the millions and millions of Americans who deserve those earned benefits, and no one should lie about them and say that they are in trouble. They are 99.8 percent delivered. They are 99.8 percent perfect. It is almost a perfect score. Don't believe what the President said down on this floor just a few days ago. We are here to protect Social Security benefits.
