Ronald Reagan Yes he saved Social Security. The Obama administration mentioned him in their 2012 budget request to congress. The one that was voted down in the senate 97-0. Obama couldn't even get support from his own party. Reagan didn't play the blame game. He got the job done. "The President believes that we should come together now, in bipartisan fashion, to strengthen Social Security for the future. He calls on the Congress to follow the example of great leaders in the past – such as Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. and President Ronald Reagan — and work in a bipartisan fashion to strengthen Social Security for years to come. Guiding the Administration in these talks will be the President’s six principles for reform: 1. Any reform should strengthen Social Security for future generations and restore long-term solvency. 2. The Administration will oppose any measures that privatize or weaken the Social Security system. 3. While all measures to strengthen solvency should be on the table, the Administration will not accept an approach that slashes benefits for future generations. 4. No current beneficiaries should see their basic benefits reduced. 5. Reform should strengthen retirement security for the most vulnerable, including low-income seniors. 6. Reform should maintain robust disability and survivors’ benefits."
