If Republicans regain control of the Senate following the midterms, the current Senate Budget ranking member is laying the groundwork: “Entitlement reform is a must for us to not become Greece.” He said he’s open to tweaking the income cap and eligibility age for programs — and wants to bring in a bipartisan group to study the problems., and it’s likely voters will be seeing them again in the coming months.
The differences are dramatic, as the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee really ought to know., for example, Graham demanded unspecified spending “reforms” that he said were necessary “to ensure we do not become Greece.” It quickly became a staple of the Republican’s vision.
