DescriptionAfter days of pestering from Democrats, White House contender Tim Pawlenty said Thursday he would sign Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) budget if he were president.


Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, reiterated that he will release his own budget proposal that differs from Ryan's in key areas like Social Security and Medicare. But he said that if Congress passed Ryan's plan — and his was not up for consideration — he would sign Ryan's into law.


"If I can’t have my own plan — as president, I’ll have my own plan [but] if I can’t have that, and the bill came to my desk and I had to choose between signing or not congressman Ryan’s plan, of course I would sign it," he told reporters during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
