Dusty Johnson's Address on Work Requirements in Welfare Legislation

And so let me just correct for the record some of the things that my colleagues have said. The gentleman from Georgia said that this bill is cruel to seniors. Let me be clear. Seniors are unaffected by this legislation. So for those of you who are 65 years old, 70 years old, 75 years old, who may be scared because some people have chosen to fear monger, your benefits are not being affected. (00:35–00:40)
