the fact is that Reagan "stole" $2.7 Trillion from the Social Security Trust Fund by saying he would repay it. That was money that hard working people put into the fund. He had no right to take it, but they had no other way to pay for the LAST GREAT TAX BREAKS FOR THE ULTRA RICH. 

So, if those bastards would simply take $2.7 Trillion, without any interest added, and put it back into the SS Trust Fund, Social Security would be fixed for a VERY LONG TIME. the end.
