" bankrupted her while she was in her prime."
Skipped the math and history classes?
Reagan changed the equation, and between then and ~2010, the SS system brought in more was they paid out. Going underwater with the equation was something we knew in 1986 would happen around 2010-2012, regardless who was President. It's also why the subject NEVER CAME UP during those years.
We've also seen the bubble of the baby boomers' retirement coming at us for a half-century, and we're currently in the 16th year of 19 years of that bubble. It will continue as the youngest age through retirement.
If anyone had a brain they would've used the surpluses from 2001 to shore up known coming shortfalls, as baby boomers were just about to start to retiring at that time.
Instead, Cheney and Dubya reset America's fiscal sights from Surplusville to Debtsylvania. THAT is the moment that'll be seen as "bankrupting" America.
That, and Trump spending like his hair is on fire.
"You are FOS."
Haven't you admitted you've allowed multiple people to post under your handle?
