SS was passed.

2. Dems lots 80 seats in '36?
It's not being mentioned by anyone because it's not true.

SS was passed in '35, at which time Dems held a whopping 322 seats. During the '36 elections the Dems gained twelve seats and the Farm Labor party gained two. The Republicans lost fifteen.

Social Security was popular, as were most of the New Deal programs of the era.
