Believe me yet? Another “conservative” who thinks social security is socialism. Gee, I guess Ronald Reagan was our first Socialist President?

Reagan didn't begin Social Security, that was Roosevelt.

However, in '64 Reagan gave a speech which was opposed to big government programs (I believe it was Medicare at the time), called: A Time for Choosing.

As far as I know, Ronald Reagan didn't once propose a large government program unrelated to national defense. Not once. In fact he recommended the demolition of several.

I don’t think Social Security is socialism.

I just think it’s a gigantic ponzi scam on the American taxpayer, which any private concern would go to prision for running.

Big difference.
