Throughout his presidency, Eisenhower adhered to a political philosophy of dynamic conservatism. A self-described "progressive conservative," he continued all the major New Deal programs still in operation, especially Social Security. He expanded its programs and rolled them into a new cabinet-level agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, while extending benefits to an additional ten million workers. He implemented integration in the Armed Services in two years, which had not been completed under Truman.
How did Eisenhower describe his political views? How many people were added to the Social Security rolls by Eisenhower? What New deal program did Eisenhower particularly support? What cabinet agency did Eisenhower make Social Security a part of? What policy in regard to the military did Eisenhower see to completion?
