A private study of the US' Social Security Program released statistics on Social Security using figures from the end of 2014. The study produced figures that showed 59 million Americans were receiving checks covering retirement, disability and Survivor benefits. This totaled $850 billion. At the end of 2014, 166 million people were paying into the program through payroll taxes.

Why did public protests against President Reagan's cut to social programs fail to impact public policy?

The answer to this requires the name of a specific social program. And, most importantly the term "cut" must be defined. That is because there is sometimes confusion between a cut in funding a social program, the elimination of a social program or a cut in the request for a specific increase in funding a social program. The latter instance perhaps requires an example. If the US Congress, for example, votes to increase the annual payout of Social Security benefits by 6%, and the US president wishes to have that increase to be only 3%,, proponents of the 6% increase will say the US president wants to "cut" spending on Social Security in half. That would be a distortion of reality.
