We are confronting a situation in which the Administration, in my view, is once again manufacturing a crisis. There is no crisis in the Social Security system. The system is not on the verge of bankruptcy.

The administration in my view is once again manufacturing a crisis. There is no crisis in the Social Security system. The system is not on the verge of bankruptcy.

I do not believe that the Social Security system is in crisis.

President Bush is manufacturing a crisis by suggesting that Social Security is in imminent danger. It is not.

The Bush Administration claims there is a Social Security crisis only to distract Americans from its serious mismanagement of the federal budget.

While Social Security faces some long-term challenges, the system is not in crisis.

Republicans are manufacturing a Social Security crisis that does not exist in order to dismantle Social Security.

The effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it's a major problem, that's just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.

It's not 2038 that Social Security is bankrupt. It's now.

If the economy is strained, then Social Security, like the rest of the government, will be, too.
