Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, said that if he were in the Oval Office, he would sign the House-passed plan backed by Representative Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, to privatize Medicare.
“If the only choices were doing nothing like President Obama is doing and Paul Ryan’s plan, I’d sign it,” Pawlenty said today on ABC’s “This Week” program. He also said he would do some things differently, such as “address Social Security,” without being more specific.
