Tigress: do you deny Tip commited to less spending? <<<<It was Reagan's elimination of progressive taxes that meant the burdon had to be carried by social security taxes, paid primarily by the working middle and lower middle class>> you are misinterpreting history. If his tax cuts were so wrongheaded why then did social security receipts go through the roof in the 80's? You might reply that it was the ss rate increase, but that also hit biz owners. you can not argue that his cuts didn't increase revenue. the proper argument is the mis-accounting of those revenues i.e. ss receipts went for general spending.
