Franklin Roosevelt was the President when social security taxes were first collected. The money collected for social security was always spent as soon as it was collected. This was not a problem so long as the number of people paying in increased faster than the number of people collecting benefits.
First, No President can borrow money. Only Congress has the power to authorize the government to borrow or spend money. As for the social security fund, the excess of money collected over money paid out always been put into US government bonds which means in a sense that the government is borrowing from it. So, I suppose you might say that Franklin Roosevelt started borrowing from the fund in 1939 when it began.
President George W. Bush. His son, the other President Bush borrowed severely from the social security fund and brought us to where this country is today.
Actually SondraC, George W. Bush was the son. The father was George H.W. Bush. Congress was responsible for borrowing against the surplus.
There has never been any money in the Social Security Trust Fund. The law prohibits the government from keeping cash laying around. There are only IOU's I the Trust Fund. This is because Congress immediately borrows the surplus funds and replaces them with Treasury Notes that have a rate of about 3%. Sometime after 2009, not sure what year, Social Security was no longer bringing in a surplus. It may be drawing against the bonds now, but I would have t check that out.

No, President Lyndon B. Johnson was not the first president to borrow money from the Social Security Trust Fund. Presidents before him, including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, had also borrowed from the trust fund to finance government expenditures. Borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund has been a common practice by several presidents since its establishment in 1935.
I never borrowed against Social Security, so I'd say the answer is "Never."

President Eisenhower was the first President to tap into Social Security, but he was the last President to pay it back.Most all Presidents since then have tapped into the Social Security. There is really no money in Social Security, it has been subsidized and paid for by today's income earners, due to the pilfering over the years of the fund.This fact is not a true referendum as to whether Social Security is a failure; it's our politicians that have failed us not the program, which has kept so many elderly out of poverty over the many years. I would consider that a big success.

No president can raid the social security fund. The President has no control over the social security fund . Only Congress can put money in or take money away from social security. No money has ever been actually set aside for social security. Money collected for social security has always been spent as quickly as it comes in. A record is kept and the fund is credited with the amounts taken in and debited for money paid out . They even add interest to the balance of fund, but no real money.
