Rep. Mike Pence: “We’re going to have entitlement reform.”

During “In the Arena,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) says the 2011 budget cut fight is “with liberals in the Senate.” When CNN host Eliot Spitzer presses him on why substantial cuts to defense and entitlement programs are not being proposed, Pence continues, “Well, look, this is not a lot to write home about. $61 billion against the $1.65 trillion deficit…. Within the next couple of weeks, you’re going to see Republicans do what Democrats didn’t do in the last Congress. We’re going to produce a budget…. We’re going to have entitlement reform in that budget.”
