Lindsay Graham says Reagan "solved" the Social Security "problem."

Edited on Thu Feb-05-09 08:08 PM by ColbertWatcher

So, we have it in the Congressional Record that Social Security has been "solved."

We no longer have to hear about the GOPers bitching about "fixing it;" Graham said it's been fixed.

By Reagan.

What's next?

2. Actually, that's why SS will be solvent until 2041 or thereabouts.

4. It should be pointed out that Reagan 'solved' it by RAISING TAXES.

7. The ghost of St. Ronnie is still the most viable GOP candidate for 2012.

10. Well, he did. He lowered the benefits and increased the taxes

Using those technique you can make Social Security solvent forever.

A different question would be -- does Social Security gives you enough money to pay utility bills and not to starve?

11. I only pointed that out because ...

... the GOP are always saying they have to fiddle with Social Security.

So when one of them says they need to "fix Social Security", I say we remind them of the day they already gave Reagan credit for fixing it.
