Freshman South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney says he and other Republicans have spoken with concerned citizens about the GOP’s plan to enact major reforms to Medicare. Why are older Americans most supportive of the Ryan plan? Is it because their benefits are guaranteed or because they know there are huge problems?

And what major changes would be required for the GOP to agree on raising the debt ceiling? We discuss it all with Rep. Mulvaney, a member of the House Budget Committee and the Joint Economic Committee.
