I thought the original '35 Social Security Act had no Pube support, but in fact there were a few decent people in the opposition party back then.

Same with the Medicare Act in '65.

1. The 93 Clinton tax increase on the rich, I think. The Republicant's

claimed it would cause another Great Depression and sure enough it did when they got rid of it.
