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? a: “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.” “b: they're goin' to give every family [head] an income of at least twenty-eight dollars a week while [he’s] out of work and a minimum of fifty when [he] goes back to work, no matter what [he] does.” “c: 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 , or else . .” d: “one reason people here don't like wpa is because they don't understand. . they'd never have had the new high school they're so . . proud of if it hadn't been for wpa. they don't stop to figure that new brick sidewalks wouldn't be there . . if it weren't for wpa projects.”
