![]() ![]() The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law - that was a trillion 200 billion dollars we agreed on to make us number one in the world again. We passed more major pieces of legislation in our first two years together - Democrats and Republicans - than any administration in history: (Applause.)Īnd Pat Baskette, an old friend of mine, when I was up in the Senate for 270 years - (laughter) - knows I know what I’m talking about on that score. But as I told my Republican friends on Tuesday, if we could work together the last Congress - and we did - there’s no reason we can’t work together to get things done as well in this Congress. We’re often told that Democrats and Republicans can’t work together. It’s never been a good bet to try to count us out. I said - (applause) - I said it’s because of the people of this country, the resilience and the strength, the soul of the nation is strong and the backbone of this nation is strong and the people of America are strong. But earlier this week, I reported on the state of the Union. Look, there are so many things we could focus on today at this great university, from education to foreign policy and a whole range of other issues. Charlie? (Applause.) I don’t think you’re finished. (Applause.) And two champions for opportunity, healthcare, and a safer climate for the people of Florida.Īnd I can’t stand here and not tell you how much I admire Charlie Crist. Thanks for the passport.Īnd I want to also thank the members of Congress here today: Kathy Castor, who represents this district, and Darren Soto. Mayor Castor, thanks for the passport into the city. THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Tampa! (Applause.) Azucena, thank you for that introduction.

People 50+ have faced enormous consequences from the global pandemic, and we will not tolerate any cuts to programs that are critical to our health and income. I expect my elected representatives to be careful stewards of these programs. And Medicare guarantees Americans 65+ much-needed health coverage. Across age groups and parties, the American public overwhelmingly supports Social Security. Social Security is the largest source of retirement income for most Americans and provides nearly all income for one in four seniors. This is unacceptable and unfair to all Americans who pay into and count on these programs. If only seven members from the Rescue Committees approve bill language, it would be fast-tracked in the House and Senate, with no allowed amendments from the rest of Congress. The TRUST Act would establish small Rescue Committees to propose changes for Social Security and Medicare. Message Body I’m your constituent and an AARP member, and I’m asking you to OPPOSE the TRUST Act, which would put my hard-earned Social Security and Medicare benefits at the mercy of a fast-tracked, closed door committee.
