Reagan proposes 10 percent Social Security cut by 1986
The Reagan plan seeks nearly 53 billion in savings by 1986 through disability and early retirement cuts while preserving benefits for those already in the system. It links future reductions to delayed cost of living increases and would ease work penalties for those over 65, with expected offset from higher income tax revenue. Critics say it undermines the safety net for the needy and elderly.
