Mike Huckabee's take on Paul Ryan's Budget Cut Proposal

Mike Huckabee in the White House: An Administration of Tough Love

Mike Huckabee sat down with Neil Cavuto and talked about being honest with the American people on the budget cuts that are needed to get our country back on the fiscal right track.

"Either we are honest with the people of this country and tell them or.....We have to be the administration of tough love. Tough understandings on limits. If you take boundaries away from the spending capacity of a government it is totally out of control. That's what we have now."

* Advocate very strong cuts and then manage those cuts so it does not create huge holes for people.

* Likes Paul Ryan's Medicaid block grant program-give it back to the states. 

* It is possible to raise the rate at which people get into Medicare. Let's treat 60 like it is the new 40. Raise the eligibility to 70 for those who are under the age of 55 because people are living longer
