I give George Mitchell primary credit. He's the one who pushed thru the massive unfunded benefit increase in 1987 after Reagan increased taxes to buttress the trust fund in 86.

You know, I love President Reagan.

But he increased taxes more than any president I can remember, put a lot of money (the SS trust fund) in untrustworthy hands, and increased the Federal Department of education.

Next time, I am voting for Carter! At least he did nothing!
