What would your Enlightenment philosopher think about federal aid to those in need, such as the New Deal during the Great Depression?
I am very much in favor of federal aid such as the New Deal. Federal aid further proves my argument that government is absolutely necessary. After the Great Depression, Roosevelt explained to the American people that his New Deal program would seek to deliver relief, recovery, and reform. The government is in place to prevent humans from being naturally evil, and it should protect the people. Assisting the public with money, food, and unemployment adds power to the government, which I am a fan of; a weak government would lead to murder of the people. The US government should just control every aspect of the peoples' lives though, I don't see why it would just give relief to people in need.
