in 1981, omb director david stockman won reagan's approval to seek cuts to social security in 1981, but this plan was poorly-received in congress. in 1982, reagan established the bipartisan national commission on social security reform to make recommendations to secure the long-term integrity of social security. the commission rejected social security privatization and other major changes to the program, but recommended expanding the social security base (by including exempt federal and nonprofit employees), raising social security taxes, and reducing some payments. these recommendations were enacted in the social security amendments of 1983, which received bipartisan support. while reagan avoided cuts to social security and medicare for most individuals, his administration attempted to purge many people from the social security disability rolls. reagan's inability to implement major cuts to social security solidified its status as the "third rail" of u.s. politics, and future administrations would be reluctant to propose cuts to the popular program.
