Summary
World War I cartoon shows Uncle Sam talking to the Russian bear who is on a leash held by a scruffy little man labeled “Bolshevism.” Uncle Sam says, “You’re all right! It’s your leadership I can’t accept.” In November 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia and made peace with Germany. Although efforts were made to effect a rapprochement between the new regime and the United States, the U.S. government eventually joined with the British and the French in various unsuccessful military actions against the Bolshevik government.

On this day in 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs into law the Social Security Act. Press photographers snapped pictures as FDR, flanked by ranking members of Congress, signed into law the historic act, which guaranteed an income for the unemployed and retirees. FDR commended Congress for what he considered to be a “patriotic” act.

Roosevelt had taken the helm of the country in 1932 in the midst of the Great Depression, the nation’s worst economic crisis. The Social Security Act (SSA) was in keeping with his other “New Deal” programs, including the establishment of the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps, which attempted to hoist America out of the Great Depression by putting Americans back to work.

In his public statement that day, FDR expressed concern for “young people [who] have come to wonder what would be their lot when they came to old age” as well as those who had employment but no job security. Although he acknowledged that “we can never insure one hundred percent of the population against one hundred percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life,” he hoped the act would prevent senior citizens from ending up impoverished.

Although it was initially created to combat unemployment, Social Security now functions primarily as a safety net for retirees and the disabled, and provides death benefits to taxpayer dependents.

The Social Security system has remained relatively unchanged since 1935.
