Has been a continuing discussion about funding since the Greenspan Commission/Bob Dole fix. At that time, the contributions were increased from 4.4%. We had several times when Republicans tried to put the disability trust find into default. I wrote a paper........Save the Social Security Disability Trust Fund! and Reduce SSI Exposure to the General Fund, 36 J. Nat’l Ass’n Admin. L. Judiciary 142 (2016) https://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/naalj/vol36/iss1/4/

Greenspan was an Ayn Rand acolyte.

Obama was ignorant on the subject. https://www.ssa.gov/history/Obamastmts1.html https://theintercept.com/2016/06/02/obama-wanted-to-cut-social-security-then-bernie-sanders-happened/

One of the reasons I don't watch Andrea Mitchell is she is Greenspans wife.
