INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels writes in his new book that massive entitlement spending reform is needed to avert a national economic disaster.
Daniels writes that American leaders will have to increase the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare and cut benefits for the wealthy in order to avert a national decline akin to the fall of the Roman Empire.
The Republican blames President Barack Obama and national Democrats for much of the country's fiscal woes.
Daniels said in an interview Monday that when he started writing the book last fall he didn't intend to run for president.
The former White House budget director outlines his policy prescriptions at the end of "Keeping the Republic: Saving Americans by Trusting Americans." The book goes on sale Tuesday.
