which president was the first to steal from the social security fund
One of the most pervasive legends in the Social Security debate suggests that President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) stole the trust fund in order to pay for Vietnam. The Social Security Administration responds directly to this claim. The Social Security Trust Fund has never been âput into the general fund of the government.â For this myth to be fact, it would require a 50 year conspiracy that crosses administrations, political parties, and ideologies.
