“Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of its citizenship”
Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make fitting response
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 3 Jan 1938 from the speech “State of the Union 1938”
