Tim Pawlenty Voices Support For Paul Ryan Medicare Plan

KATHY McCORMACK 05/26/11 04:10 PM ET

stumble MILFORD, N.H. — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said Thursday for the first time that he supports House Republicans' budget outline that calls for cuts to the federal deficit as well as federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Pawlenty told reporters that if he were president he would endorse the House lawmakers' plan. He has been dogged in recent days about the plan, which Democrats' say would privatize sacrosanct federal programs. The endorsement now links the White House contender with House lawmakers' potentially toxic proposals that were likely to be unpopular with seniors.
