Ronald Reagan took over a SS in total disaster and shored it up. It wasn't in the shape then as it is now and you should know that. That was decades ago and when Reagan left office the debt was 2.6 trillion, it is 14.5 trillion now and trillions are in IOU's in addition to that debt. You remain very naive on economic issues.
People didn't live as long.
Science is keeping people alive longer. Blood pressure pills. Cholesterol pills. Advanced end of life care. ETC.
