Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I'm not saying that to frighten anybody, because, believe me, the people today dependent on social security are going to continue getting their checks."

"We must keep that pledge."

"Whatever they do must agree with what I said just a moment ago to you, that any plan for a change in social security must not take away from those people dependent on that program today."

"Let's look forward to a day where they're not raising those funds."
