PRES. RONALD REAGAN: Social Security, let’s lay it to rest once and for all. I told you, never would I do such a thing, but I tell you also now. Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit. Social Security is totally funded by the payroll tax levied on employer and employee. If you reduce the outgo of Social Security, that money would not go into the general fund to reduce the deficit. It would go into the Social Security trust fund. So Social Security has nothing to do with balancing the budget or erasing or lowering the deficit.
Reagan tripled the national debt and George W. Bush doubled it again. But that was okay, Dick Cheney said in 2002, because Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter.

He was right about two things. This was one.
This speech should be played whenever Republicans or Democrats put Social Security on the table for budget cuts.
My favorite President. The Great Orator. A gentle, elegant man who respected women, loved his wife, cares about people, not just himself and his wallet. There will never be another one like him. Now we have this disredisrespectful, grab women wherever, three times married, cheating, lying, grab every nickel for myself disgrace in the White House. Social Security dipping by the Government is A travesty. Millions of people and their employers paid into this fund believing that we would all have a little something to live on when we can no longer work the Orange Man would wreck this whole system caring about nothing except his own pockets. WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SOMEHOW BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND IS TOO LATE. Can’t the hundreds of thousands this will affect protest in an effeceffective way?
