Entitlement reform: If not now, when?

There is never a convenient time to tackle entitlement reform.

“I think it won’t take him very long to realize that unless we do [entitlement reform], this country could be gone,” Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said of President Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention. “But it’s going to take him a year, a year and a half to figure it out … But he’s a smart guy, and he doesn’t want to leave this country in worse shape than when he came in.”
