According to Roosevelt, what is the job of the

federal government?
to wait for wealth to trickle down from the rich
to the less fortunate
to make sure local governments provide
economic relief
to help a few people of the US become
wealthy
to ensure the well being of all people of the
US
There are two ways of viewing the
Government's duty in matters affecting
economic and social life. The first sees to it
that a favored few are helped and hopes that
some of their prosperity will leak through, sift
through, to labor, to the farmer, to the small
business man.... I say
that while primary
responsibility for relief rests with localities
now, as ever, yet the Federal Government has
always had and still has a continuing
responsibility for the broader public welfare.
It will soon fulfill that responsibility

Answer:

The good answer is:

To ensure the well being of all people of the US.

Step-by-step explanation:

The era of F.D. Roosevelt is also known as the New Deal. It was a period when major government programs with large social impact were designed and implemented. FDR wanted to alleviate the hardships and sufferings of common Americans hit by the devastating effects of the Great Depression. The main targets of such programs were the dispossessed. Under FDR, the federal government got new responsibilities and a large role in social welfare that had been previously unknown.
