U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann said she would reduce Medicare and Social Security benefits for all but current recipients as part of an effort to reduce the federal deficit.

“We will reform the entitlement programs now, not five years from now, not 26 years from now, now,” Bachmann said on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital With Al Hunt” airing this weekend. “Anyone who is not yet on those programs, we are going to change them.”
