Reagan's presidency are dead. Do the math. Even someone who started SS at age 65 during the last year of his presidency is now 89 years old.

Today's new SS recipients are Baby Boomers. I'm 67, now, and predate the baby boom by a year. I was born in 1945. Even my parents, who are no 88 years old, were not SS recipients during Reagan's presidency. Just a little later, but later.
