FDR on Relief and Social Security Through History
In a 1934 letter to Col. House, FDR warned that some relief cases would not be solved by work and urged that relief costs be borne by states and localities as before. He cautioned that continued relief would erode national character, long before Social Security and other programs emerged. The piece contrasts then rhetoric with today’s War on Poverty and notes abolition of relief wasn’t near.
