No. No economists or historians believe Social Security helped end the Great Depression, although some Marxists might believe this. Here is more input:

  • Social Security provided an income for retired people. Before it, retirees would live with their family. Although this may have helped individual income, it did not end the Great Depression.
  • At best, Social Security is a welfare program. In the opinion of many, it helped retirees and certain indigents deal better with the effects of the depression, i.e. it provided a minimum level of income to some people who could not support themselves.
