The piece traces Social Security's roots to President Roosevelt's aim to safeguard citizens against unavoidable misfortunes. It notes 1935 recommendations focused on old age, employment insurance and public aid, recalls expansions through 1939 1957 1966 and 1977, and discusses evolving coverage and benefits from 1 tax percent to 6.65 percent and benefit ranges from modest to substantial, concluding the original purpose still underpins current need.
