Question

If you know history
what is the meaning of "This farmer is not on government relief"

what im confused on is... in this picture it kind of shows that farmers are not on governments side. But this was after the great depression when the new deal was happening and I thought the new deal was supposed to help farmers like with the AAA act and such. So someone please explain?

Answer 11

From @Arcadiouse :

So, the new deals that helped farmers were very important. They provided financial aid, payed farmers for killing less animals and helped those still left to farm. However, the payments and aid, wasn’t always spread across evenly. Although it did help the farmers, some of them were against it.

Certain deals gave farmers electricity, and access to infrastructure. Also, but then it wasn’t spread evenly either"

Answer 12

Some of my own thoughts:

I asked if it was due to the overwhelming cost, and he agreed. And that makes sense. Social welfare costs a lot of money, and there wasn't a lot of it after the Great Depression. Also, with every program comes flaws, and clearly the flaw in this one was it's range of influence.

Answer 13

Ahh! I see! makes sense now! Thank you to both of you!
