Actually what you forgot @Emjay...in your rush to agree with this FNG's sloobering affection for Trump...was that the Greenspan Commission found that Social Security was near insolvency in the early 80's tha that tx revenues...despite increases in the FICA tax by Carter weren't going to keep the trust fund afloat.
Reagan helped get legislation passed to save social security. Clinton was the one that used the money in the trust fund to increase the general revenue stream and mythically "balance" the budget.
I'm 99.9% certain where our new little Reagan basher got his info from and the person writing the article he's basing his "history" on appears to keep tinfoil in his back pocket if you know what I mean.
I get that you're 110% enamored with Trump...but please don't let that blind you when people come in to try and falsely rewrite history.
No,
@txradioguy I was very dumb to accept Jaf's assertions as fact without checking it out. I am very glad to find out that he was wrong or lying to perpetuate a stupid agenda he has about Reagan.
Thanks for this sentence which sounds much more like the two characters, one of whom I knew and loved and the other I despised. "Reagan helped get legislation passed to save social security. Clinton was the one that used the money in the trust fund to increase the general revenue stream and mythically "balance" the budget."
I really appreciate your clearing this up. I should have known better than to trust a source I really didn't know. I was unfamiliar with the guy and had no idea he was a nasty little Reagan basher.
And, Yes, I am supporting Trump now for a number of reasons. One, I've liked most of the things he's done since he has been in office and, another, that he is our bulwark against a terrifying leftist democrat party that cannot be allowed to regain power.
