Agree

Yes, people are now living longer than when the program was created

Reagan might agree with this statement to some extent. The 1983 Social Security Amendments, which occurred under his administration, did raise the retirement age gradually, reflecting the increased life expectancy. However, it's important to note that this was more of a compromise solution to ensure the solvency of the program, rather than a policy he strongly advocated for.
