Congressional Republicans should reform Medicare, regardless of what Trump says

The House Republican Budget trims mandatory spending by $203 billion over the next decade, a period when the federal government will spend more than $40 trillion.

How do Republicans justify such trifling cuts when they control the House, the Senate, and the White House?

"We'd like to have more than $203 billion," House Budget Committee Chairwoman Diane Black told us in an editorial board interview with the Washington Examiner.But? "We cannot touch Medicare."

And why not? "The President has already made that very clear, that Medicare was off the table."

Black added, "The President just did not want, because of his campaign promises, for us to delve into that this year."
