Read this excerpt from an interview in which a person makes a counterclaim that New Deal programs like the
Works Progress Administration (WPA) were not
successful.
Bob [Hawley) says if anyone paid him twenty-eight
dollars a week while he was loafin' he'd never go to
work. Said he never made that much in the shop when
he was workin' and he got along fine "You give me
twenty-eight dollars a week for the rest of my life, and
see [how] much work I'll do." So there they were.
Which of these quotes from other interviews is the best
rebuttal to this counterclaim?
O "As to the New Deal, I believe that it has been a
failure as it has protected the trusts more than the
American people. Today, the poor are poorer, and the
trusts are richer."
O "They're goin' to give every family [head) an income
of at least twenty-eight dollars a week while ſhe's) out
of work and a minimum of fifty when [he] goes back to
work, no matter what (he) does."
O "When the city hasn't got funds to finance Public
Welfare ... and then when the state finds the burden's
more than they can swing, you'll see how long it takes
the old birds in Washington to realize it's government

O "One reason people here don't like WPA is because
they don't understand. ... They'd never have had the

the answer is a, salt plain

from thales, who is often considered the first western philosopher, to the stoics and skeptics, ancient greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the western intellectual tradition. here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. we find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the milesian thinkers, and we hear democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter. with socrates comes a sustained inquiry into ethical matters—an orientation towards human living and the best life for human beings. with plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some have since attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology. plato’s student, aristotle, was one of the most prolific of ancient authors. he wrote treatises on each of these topics, as well as on the investigation of the natural world, including the composition of animals. the hellenists—epicurus, the cynics, the stoics, and the skeptics—developed schools or movements devoted to distinct philosophical lifestyles, each with reason at its foundation.

with this preference for reason came a critique of traditional ways of living, believing, and thinking, which sometimes caused political trouble for the philosophers themselves. xenophanes directly challenged the traditional anthropomorphic depiction of the gods, and socrates was put to death for allegedly inventing new gods and not believing in the gods mandated by the city of athens. after the fall of alexander the great, and because of aristotle’s ties with alexander and his court, aristotle escaped the same fate as socrates by fleeing athens. epicurus, like xenophanes, claimed that the mass of people is impious, since the people conceive of the gods as little more than superhumans, even though human characteristics cannot appropriately be ascribed to the gods. in short, not only did ancient greek philosophy pave the way for the western intellectual tradition, including modern science, but it also shook cultural foundations in its own time.
