3. Reagan increased the base benefit package

And everyone since then has enjoyed the increase.

Your view is a rather dim and narrow view. Are you against raising the SS benefits? Do you favor a 50% increase in benefits, or are you in favor of the current plan to reduce future benefits?

Reagan made sure benefits grew and now we have Obama wanting to see benefits shrink? Something is wrong with this picture.
