Labor Day 1956

 

The expansion of Social Security was the creation of Disability Insurance benefits.

  1. My guess is that the Social Security mention in the poster refers to the coverage extensions under the 1956 amendments rather than the creation of disability insurance. Eisenhower opposed the disability insurance provisions in the bill but ultimately signed it. His signing statement is telling.
