Here we are now in the middle of January facing yet another deadline,
and the Children's Health Insurance Program is not yet reauthorized. That is a promise. We will see by the end of the week whether the
majority keeps its promise to those 9 million children. The pension issue is the one I am going to talk about tonight, but
there is also a promise that was made to approximately 800,000 young
people, the individuals in the so-called DACA Program, the Dreamers. That is another promise. The promise we are talking about tonight, at least on this side of
the aisle in the Senate, is the promise of pensions.
