Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Wednesday suggested that Social Security and Medicare should no longer be classified as federal entitlement programs and instead the funds should be approved by Congress on a yearly basis in an effort to curb debt.

The lawmaker made the comments during an Aug. 3 interview on ”The Regular Joe Show," a conservative radio program on WTAQ News Talk in Wisconsin.
