Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. government's expansion into welfare during the Great Depression, through programs like Social Security and unemployment insurance, aimed to provide a safety net for the poor and unemployed, rather than "something for nothing." These programs were designed to support those in need due to economic hardship, not to offer unearned benefits.
