Question
a criticism of the works progress administration’s creation of artistic and infrastructure jobs was
that roosevelt was
treating the wealthy
unfairly.
that the program took
too much power from
the government.
that roosevelt was
enacting a second new
deal.
that the program gave
too much power to the
government.
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was part of the New Deal. Critics argued that such government - run programs (like the WPA creating jobs) expanded the government's power too much. Let's analyze each option:
- "that Roosevelt was treating the wealthy unfairly": The WPA was more about job creation for the unemployed, not focused on treating the wealthy unfairly, so this is incorrect.
- "that the program took too much power from the government": The WPA was a government program, so it would not take power from the government, this is illogical.
- "that Roosevelt was enacting a second New Deal": The WPA was part of the original New Deal's efforts, and the idea of a "second New Deal" is not the main criticism of the WPA's job - creation aspect.
- "that the program gave too much power to the government": Since the WPA was a large - scale government program creating jobs, critics who were concerned about government overreach would argue it gave too much power to the government.
