So like can you uhhh- help me The program for social security now pending before the Congress is a necessary part of the future unemployment policy of the government. While our present and projected expenditures for work relief are wholly within the reasonable limits of our national credit resources, it is obvious that we cannot continue to create governmental deficits for that purpose year after year. We must begin now to make provision for the future. That is why our social security program is an important part of the complete picture. It proposes, by means of old age pensions, to help those who have reached the age of retirement to give up their jobs and thus give to the younger generation greater opportunities for work and to give to all a feeling of security as they look toward old age.

What was the purpose of the Social Security Administration?

to allow workers to organize and form labor unions
to protect Americans who had become too old to work
to help workers who were temporarily unemployed
to help young workers who were just entering the labor force
