this is taken out of political context. that position was expedient for Reagan at the time because it justified the Greenspan position and raising payroll taxes while also cutting benefits. now the trust fund is too big to work that way so Obama's arguing the other direction (which Reagan would have done in his position).
the correct left position in my mind is moving social security into the general revenue and making it very clear that benefits will only be cut if politicians take them away. -Nathan Tankus -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
