don't take my word for it, kristen. word search of the budget resolution we passed on tuesday. there is not one mention of medicare, medicaid and social security. it's not in the bill because we have not set the policy. when we're trying to do is get america back on sound, fiscal ground. we have a $36 trillion federal debt and ballooning deficits. the republican party is a party of fiscal responsibility. the american people want us to review the expenditures of the country and get our fiscal house in order and that's what we must do. at the same time we have to extend the trump era tax cuts so we can make sure that every american doesn't reach the large of the tax increase. this very serious work. we can do both things simultaneously and not affect anyone eligible for those to receive them. you have inefficiencies. in medicaid there's an estimated $50 billion a year that is lost in fraud alone. we've got to clean that up and the people want us to do it. that's what we're talking about. ensuring efficiencies, and ensurin

please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi, kristen. great to see you as always this morning. so much to talk about, but i want to focus on republicans pushing for nearly $1 trillion in spending cuts while somehow promising not to cut medicaid or medicare. how is this spending showdown unfolding on capitol hill? well, it's a showdown. you hit the nail on the head here, and it's great to be with you. i pressed house speaker mike johnson on the program about this very question. how are you going to get these cuts without cutting medicare, medicaid and social security? and he points to the fact we're going to root out waste, fraud and abuse that only covers a portion of how much it would take to get the amount of spending cuts that they are aiming for, some $900 billion. and i have to tell you, he is quite skeptical. senator bernie sanders, who says they're basically going to have to gut entitlements in order to get those programs. so he's not buying it. he's not buying the denials. and he argues that social security could be next. so a lo
