To put the quote in context:
"By Roosevelt's inauguration, unemployment had grown to over twenty-five percent of the nation's workforce, with more than twelve million Americans out of work."
-William Leuchtenburg, Esteemed FDR historian
Roosevelt displayed effective leadership by steadfastly pushing to replace short-term monetary relief, like government handouts, with long-term solutions, like creating jobs.
His empathetic vision for America included mending both the economy and the spirit of the people."

"In his State of the Union Address before Congress on January 4, 1935, President Roosevelt declared, "the time has come for action by the national government" to provide "security against the major hazards and vicissitudes [uncertainties] of life."
He went on to propose the creation of federal unemployment and old-age insurance programs. He also called for guaranteed benefits for poor single mothers and their children along with other dependent persons."

"A few months later, on August 18, 1935, Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act.
It set up a federal retirement program for persons over 65, which was financed by a payroll tax paid jointly by employers and their workers.
FDR believed that federal old-age pensions together with employer-paid unemployment insurance (also a part of the Social Security Act) would provide the economic security people needed during both good and bad times.
"
In addition to old-age pensions and unemployment insurance, the Social Security Act established a national welfare system."
