>> You think Reagan saved social security? Here is the real history! He raised the payroll tax and taxed social security a huge regressive tax and the he used the money for tax cuts for the rich and to fight wars! What an ignorant comment. You're an embarrassment to the Democrat party. While I disagree with most members of it, I don't think they are all idiots. You're a fucking idiot.

"You think Reagan saved social security? " I think it was gonna be insolvent in 1984, and now we're saying it's gonna be solvent until '30-something. If you like, we can say he extended solvency 45 or 50 years. "Social Security was definitely not “teetering on the edge of bankruptcy” Really? The following is a guest post by David Certner, AARP legislative policy director. The last time we made significant changes to Social Security – including adjustments to benefits – was the 1983 Social Security amendments. At the time, Social Security had less than a year’s worth of solvency, and a bipartisan agreement to put Social Security on sound financial footing was essential. blog.aarp.org
