Kasich (R) Tells Social Security Recipients To 'Get Over' Potential Cuts In Benefits

2016 hopeful John Kasich (R) told his audience at a forum that they were "going to have to get over" cuts to their Social Security benefits.

He said that. First, he asked the audience whether they knew what their initial benefit was. A few hands went up.

"Now what if I told you your initial benefit was going to be somewhat lower in order to save the program," he continued. "Would that drive you crazy?"

When an audience member indicated it would upset them, Kasich replied, "Ok. Well, you'd get over it. And you're going to have to get over it."
