President John F. Kennedy did not borrow money directly from the Social Security funds. However, during his administration, the federal government did temporarily use Social Security surpluses to finance other government expenditures. This practice was part of broader budgetary strategies and involved the use of Social Security trust funds, but specific amounts borrowed can vary based on different fiscal policies and periods.

No president can borrow from social security or any other gocvernment agency. Social security is controlled by the US Congress. Congress has made a long-time practice of borrowing all the money collected from social security taxes ( FICA) and spending it in the general fund. The social security fund consists entirely of "IOUs "( bonds) from the US treasury.

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.

Borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund has been a common practice by several presidents since its establishment in 1935.

I recall a news or whatever interview with Ronald Reagan where the interviewer asked Reagan why, with all his wealth, he was receiving social security. He responded that he paid into it and was therefore qualified to receive it and so he was.
No President has ever "borrowed" against Social Security. By law, the Social Security Trust Fund must be invested in Treasury bonds. The problem is that the Federal government has always included the balance in the Trust Fund when calculating the Federal budget deficit, debt, etc. Now that balance is decreasing rapidly.
Well, honey, that would be President Lyndon B. Johnson. He decided to dip into the Social Security Fund back in 1968 to help cover some government expenses. It's like borrowing money from your grandma's purse - not the best idea, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Yes you can use the SSB amounts that you receive each month to pay your debts and any thing else that you want to pay.
George W. Bush raided and spent a total of $1.37 trillion of Social Security surplus during his eight years as president. In his last year, he spent $192.2 billion, which averages out to more than $526 million per day.
