Mike Pence calls to end Social Security and Medicare in Fox News interview

[hookaleft]

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday called to end Social Security and Medicare, and instead replace them with a "better deal" for younger Americans.

During an interview on Fox News, Pence was asked about his plan for entitlements like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

"We are simply not going to reform the fiscal health of this nation by simply nibbling at the edges of the federal budget," Pence said. "I submit to you that we have to have a conversation about reforming entitlements in the days ahead."

"I think we can replace the New Deal programs with a better deal," he added.
