Reply #154: How do you get that from what Plouffe said? Are you confusing Plouffe and Ryan?

[Hoyt]

Here's what Plouffe is quoted saying:

"So you’re going to have to look at Medicare and Medicaid and see what kind of savings you can get.

"First, squeezing them out of the system before you squeeze seniors.

"Secondly, on Social Security, what he said is that is not a driver right now of significant costs, but in the process of sitting down and talking about our spending and our programs, if there can be a discussion about how to strengthen Social Security in the future, he’s eager to have that discussion."


I don't find a lot to disagree with there.
