For this, FDR quote “ Spiritual and moral disintegration: on destructive to the national fiber” meaning, and not just sitting around and lazing your butt doing literally nothing, while spending your money, work ( History ). In other words, he disdains people not working, so Franklin gives them a job. Furthermore, the Work Progress Administration officially went out of the public eye in June…

Could you imagine the United States with people dying of starvation, no job opportunities with millions unemployed, houses being sold, and no way to receive money from the banks? That’s how the United States was during the Great Depression. The Great Depression started in 1929 when the U.S. stock market crashed.
