That’s Why We’re Voting For Roosevelt Herbie Hoover promised us "Two chickens in each pot," Breadlines and Depression were the only things we got. I lost my job, my bank blew up, and I was on the spot. That’s why I’m voting for Roosevelt. Hooray! Hooray! Herbert Hoover’s gone away, Hooray! Hooray! I hope he’s gone to stay. For now I’m back to work and get my three squares ev’ry day. That’s why I’m voting for Roosevelt. . . . Wall Street sure is kicking for they know they’re on the pan. Franklin D. in Washington upset their little plan, And now the one on top is that poor once forgotten man, That’s why we’re voting for Roosevelt. Hooray! Hooray! He banished all our fear. Hooray! Hooray! Our banks are in the clear. He brought us back prosperity, he gave us back our beer, That’s why I’m voting for Roosevelt. — Thomas O’Dowd, 1936

Answer:

According to the song lyrics, people supported Franklin D. Roosevelt primarily because he: A. implemented economic relief and recovery programs.

Explanation:

President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the New Deal, a series of programs that were supposed to provide relief and recovery from the effects of the Great Depression. As we can see in the lyrics, the speaker is supporting and voting for Roosevelt because he feels that his life has partially returned to normal thanks to him. The little everyday things that we usually take for granted- a simple job, a beer, food on the table - were all taken away by the Depression. Roosevelt, however, has brought them back. He is working hard for the masses instead of for the Wall Street people. As the speaker says:

For now I’m back to work and get my three squares ev’ry day. That’s why I’m voting for Roosevelt.

Wall Street sure is kicking for they know they’re on the pan.

He brought us back prosperity, he gave us back our beer, That’s why I’m voting for Roosevelt.
