Roosevelt was indicating that he wanted to protect American workers (with unemployment insurance), but was not encouraging that persons receive government handouts as a perpetual way of life ("the dole").
The expression, "being on the dole," came into use in Britain after World War I, as slang for receiving unemployment benefits, or money being "doled out" by the government. Frances Perkins, who became Secretary of Labor for the Roosevelt Administration, recalled how Roosevelt had included that line already in a speech as a candidate for the presidency in 1932. She noted that Roosevelt's words were subtly attractive to voters. When he said, "I am for unemployment insurance but not for the dole," it signaled a commitment of his candidacy toward helping the unemployed. "It created a great interest and a great enthusiasm among the voters," she said, and they worked to get such ideas into the Democratic Party's national platform.
Incidentally, Frances Perkins was the first woman to serve in a cabinet position for the US government.
Because the economy of the united states depended on trade with great Britain
Answer:
export more than it imports
Explanation:
The colonial powers during the seventeenth century were led by the economic principles of the mercantilism. This economic principle was basically suggesting that in order for a country to gain as much wealth as possible, it needs to produce a lot, export more than it imports, and use protectionism as a defense mechanism. In order to accomplish this, the colonial powers engaged into mass production of goods that were in high demand and were sold for good price, resulting in creation of enormous plantations of cash crops. Some of the cash crops that contributed to accumulation of wealth through trade were the sugar cane, cotton, indigo, tobacco etc. Something else that this economic principle suggested was the creation or opening up of new markets, and the result of that was conquering new territories, where both the resources were used, and it was a new market for the products, though this came slightly later in the history.
