Medicare is Not Enough

Former Senator Rick Santorum is in. No surprises here. How he chose to do it this morning, is very interesting. Before making his announcement, he appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America.

In an election year, I went out on the floor of the United States Senate with Jim DeMint and started arguing for reforming Social Security. Not even Paul Ryan in his budget now, in the face of trillions of dollars of deficits currently, had the temerity to step forward and say we have to do Social Security.

Keep it up, Senator. Trying to get elected by outdoing Paul Ryan is an interesting tactic. I tend to agree that Americans like politicians who stick to their guns. But pinning Paul Ryan to the wall on the idea that getting rid of Medicare is not enough without doing the same to Social Security?

Good luck with that one.
