Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 - April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was the thirty-second President of the United States. Elected to four terms in office, he served from 1933 to 1945 and is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms. He was a central figure of the 20th century during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems. Although recovery of the economy was incomplete until almost 1940, the programs he initiated such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to have instrumental roles in the nation's commerce. One of his most important legacies is the Social Security system.

Which was the first political party to tap into social security?

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.
