Paulson on Fox News
October 13th 12:24:31 PM
In an interview on Fox News yesterday, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson discussed his support for entitlement reform. Citing private conversations with politicians on both sides of the aisle, Paulson said that there is "broad agreement" about the need to address Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
From the Fox News transcript:
"I say, what they said to me was that they understand that as we look ahead, we have a big structural deficit. They understand that the structural deficit impairs our economic flexibility, if we don't reform the programs, impairs our competitiveness, and impairs the retirement security of a younger generation of workers today."
