budget, which the president
says can’t be cut, and taxes,
which he says can’t be raised.
Suspicions about the presi-
dent’s intentions were arous-
ed by his reply to a Jan. 9
news conference question
about freezing cost of living
increases for Social Security
beneficiaries as a means of
reducing the federal deficit.
The president’s response
was to remind the questioner
that he had repeatedly pledg-
ed to safeguard existing
Social Security benefits, but
adding that he might be fac-
ed by an “overwhelming
bipartisan majority” in Con-
gress demanding a freeze on
cost of living increases.
"I would have to look at
that situation and what I was
faced with, with regard to a
possible congressional man-
date,” Reagan said.
He was less equivocal on
the subject of defense spen-
ding and tax increases, but
the response to the Social
Security question reminded
longtime Reagan watchers
that he is a man who has
