Former Vice President Mike Pence struck a dire tone about the looming threats of insolvency in Medicare and Social Security while blasting politicians who shy away from reform.
Warning about an impending debt crisis, Pence argued that the longer Congress waits to act, the worse the outlook will become. He argued that there are ways of remedying entitlement programs with"compassionate reforms" that will"give younger Americans a better deal.""We often hear that Medicare is just five years away from insolvency, Social Security's 10 years away, but that's just the tip of the iceberg," Pence said.
His remarks came during a featured address at an event for Washington and Lee University's Mock Convention, a 115-year custom in which students gather to predict who the nominee will become for the party out of power. They have successfully predicted the Republican nominee for over 70 years in a row.
I know that for a lot of Republicans on the Hill their dream is to cut Social Security and Medicare.— President Biden February 9, 2023 "Joe Biden's policy is insolvency," Pence contended during his address."The American people deserve to know that President Biden won't even discuss commonsense reforms of Social Security and Medicare."
Former President Donald Trump has drawn battle lines with his 2024 foes on entitlement reform, illustrating a schism within the GOP.
