Pence Confesses About Social Security
Here’s what Pence had to say…
Former Vice President Mike Pence recently shared what he thought about Republicans attempt to reform Social Security and he thought a “conservation” needed to be had about it.
According to Breitbart, after Pence was asked about what he thought about the United States debt limit which Congress is currently fighting about, he said, “I commend Speaker McCarthy for the way that he’s engaged President Biden and said, look, we have to have we have to have budget cuts. We have to have reforms that are associated with it. But it’s enormously important that we that we pay the nation’s bills. And I’m confident that they will do that. All that being said, Sandra, I will tell you that to have a national debt the size of our nation’s economy is unsustainable. The last time this happened was after World War II, and the only way we got over it was through sound economic policies and a post-war, booming economy.”
Pence then talked about reforming Social Security along with Medicare.
Trump’s former Vice President explained, “Now we literally have a paralysis in Washington, D.C., that says we’re never even going to talk about reforming 70% of the federal budget. That’s what entitlements, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are all in that cash. And we simply are not going to restore the fiscal health of this nation by simply nibbling at the edges of the federal budget. I submit to you that we have to have a conversation about reforming entitlements in the days ahead.”
He then claimed that a “better” deal can be made saying, “I think we can replace the New Deal programs with a better deal. I think in Social Security, you can keep all the promises that you made to seniors. You can people that will retire within the next 20 years. No changes, but to give options to younger Americans to invest a portion of their Social Security in a private savings account and get a better deal, I think is an idea whose time will come.”
