Social Security Act (1935)
FDR’s Great Depression comeback play: the Social Security Act. Think of it as the original retirement plan that didn’t rely on your kids or the church. Pensions, unemployment insurance, and a safety net that kept America from total collapse. Boomers love it. Libertarians… not so much. Either way, it’s still paying dividends in the debate arena.
