According to Roosevelt, what is the job of the
federal government?
to wait for wealth to trickle down from the rich
to the less fortunate
to make sure local governments provide
economic relief
to help a few people of the US become
wealthy
to ensure the well being of all people of the
US
There are two ways of viewing the
Government's duty in matters affecting
economic and social life. The first sees to it
that a favored few are helped and hopes that
some of their prosperity will leak through, sift
through, to labor, to the farmer, to the small
business man.... I say
that while primary
responsibility for relief rests with localities
now, as ever, yet the Federal Government has
always had and still has a continuing
responsibility for the broader public welfare.
It will soon fulfill that responsibility
