	Steve Mnuchin on Social Security

Focus of Presidential budget is not cutting entitlements

Speaking on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, Mnuchin, who has acknowledged that tax reform is his top policy priority, said the budget plan would not seek cuts to federal benefits programs known as "entitlements".

"We are not touching those now. So don't expect to see that as part of this budget, OK," Mnuchin said of the programs. "We are very focused on other aspects and that's what's very important to us. And that's the president's priority."
