Still waiting for President Reagan's brave proposal to reform social security instead of raising soical security taxes.

BTW, I don't blame President Reagan, I blame people, like you, who hide behind President Reagan's legacy to cause division amongst conservatives.

You all in the hillary/DNC basement should really get a new playbook.

>>>>Still waiting for President Reagan's brave proposal to reform social security instead of raising soical security taxes.

PresReagan appointed Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Social Security reform commission. Its job was to come up with a plan to reform Social Security and make it fiscally solvent once again. That is exactly what happened. History doesn't lie. Social Security taxes did go up, from 4.8% to 5.7% (Today 6.2%). Reagan accomplished Social Security reform without a GOP House. Reagan achieved reform with a hostile House controlled by the Dems. OTOH. PresBush has a full GOP Congress and so far, Social Security reform has gone nowhere. It's a dead issue for now. The GOP is the majority party in power. We have a GOP POTUS. Yet all they can do is advance a liberal spending agenda. That is not in keeping with a fiscally conservative agenda.
