Only if we begin to reform these programs now and only if we begin to restructure the system so when a young person is setting aside money for their retirement. it is not going to some phantom account with the Social Security Administration but where it Is going in a real investment in something they own and can depend on and trust. until we collateralize or securitize the Social Security and the Medicare contributions of our young people. their retirement is not going to be secure. Senator DOMENIOI said that I was going to talk about the welfare reform. and I am. One of my biggest disappointments in this bill is that. as it is currently structured. we have gone a long way toward killing welfare reform. and let me explain why. First of all. we made some tough decisions about denying benefits. setting higher standards and saying. especially to immigrants. you come to America. You have to come with your sleeves rolled up ready to go to work. You cannot come to America with your hand held out ready to go on welfare.
