The column says the percentage of covered earnings dropped from 90% in 1982 to 85% in 2005.  What has been the average of percentage of covered earnings since its inception?  As best as I can tell it's 83%.

Btw I replied to your original post very politely.  Why the condescending tone?  Especially when it was your error that led to my post.  You're the only person who has a consistent problem with me, and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

Thanks for being sorry, I guess.

I'm not sorry you didn't have time to read and understand the material in the link provided. It took me about 5 seconds to find it along with tons of other information on the issue. Another generous poster had time to read and summarize a bit of it for you. I don't. Deepest apologies. The information is there. Take it in at your own risk. No need to apologize if you still don't understand it. It is a complex matter. 

I don't have a problem with you, I simply point out, as do others, your erroneous assumptions and analysis. There is a dialogue happening across our culture right now about the problem with fake news and perpetuating ignorance and/or misinformation. I guess I, along with some other folks, have been aware of this problem for some time, and that's why I (and they) counter misinformation. I'll try to be more charming when countering your miscues. Hugs & kisses, xxlt.  
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
