Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday that President Obama’s budget, which includes cuts to Social Security benefits, is a good-faith effort and a step toward a “grand bargain.”
“There are nuggets of his budget that I think are optimistic,” Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “It’s overall a bad plan for the economy. But when you look at chained CPI and Medicare reductions, we’re beginning to set the stage for the grand bargain.”
“He’s showing some signs of leadership that’s been lacking,” Graham said. “I’m encouraged. And that puts the burden on us to do the same thing.”
