Social Security and Slashing the Deficit
People on entitlement programs should not be paying for Reagan’s military-spending deficit. These programs have already been gutted by our current Administration, and recipients’ health and life has suffered for it. The wealthy top 1% of our nation has benefited directly by Reagan’s (mis)management of the economy and GNP, and it is their bill that has come due.
This country needs a military-budget-slash of 33%. We have a lot of damage to undo that has arisen over the last seven years.
