I am not going to argue with you. I read the article and it explained exactly how Greenspan and Reagan created a crises that was not real as a way to increase social security revenue which they could then borrow to cut taxes on the rich. They were stuck. They needed the revenue but also wanted to cut taxes on the rich.

Reagan also more than tripled the yearly deficit during his term as president running Carters 50 billion deficits to $250 billion with tax cuts for the rich and massive increases in defense spending to the military Inudstrial Complex, his masters!

Do you have any doubt that is how Reagan operated? Here is the article again. Look at the title. Do you think he made this stuff up? Reagan also started putting stupid taxes on social security further devaluing its worth which so many depend on!

Ronald Reagan and The Great Social Security Heist

Ronald Reagan was one of the most popular presidents in modern history. As a former Hollywood actor, he had an uncommon degree of charisma. The conservatives absolutely loved Reagan for his efforts to reduce the size of government, but most liberals hated him with a passion. Reagan is still revered by a lot of Americans. This reverence for Ronald Reagan helps to explain how he was able to fool most of the American people to a degree unparalleled by any other modern president. With the help of Alan Greenspan, Reagan pulled off one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated against the American people.
