Best Answer

No, the Social Security System was started by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935, as part of "The New Deal".

Johnson was the one that started handing out Social Security money to people who were neither retired nor disabled, though, with his "Great Society" schemes, and his "War On Poverty".
