| Description | Donald Trump doesn’t really have policy positions these days. He has policy moods. Humors. Flirtations, perhaps. He's revised his stance on the minimum wage, obliquely suggested that he'd maybe consider defaulting on the U.S. debt before walking it back, and asked for assistance rewriting his tax plan. Now it appears he's getting a little wobbly on entitlements.
On Wednesday, at an event in Washington, Trump's chief policy adviser Sam Clovis suggested that the candidate would, in fact, be open to curbing entitlements if his $10 trillion in proposed tax cuts didn't somehow supercharge growth enough to create a budget surplus. “After the administration has been in place, then we will start to take a look at all of the programs, including entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare,” he said, according to the Wall Street Journal. |
