There's been a lot of discussion about Social Security and Medicare. Neither one of them are likely to be considered in this legislation at all. The president has made unequivocal commitments to not cut benefits in Social Security and Medicare and in Medicaid. I think Medicaid will get looked at soon simply because it's growing so rapidly. You wouldn't cut it. (01:34–01:44)
