Huey Long's Proposal

While Huey Long's proposal would help the poor, it would help them get houses, go to school, and go to college, it would hurt the economy, by making people less willing to work. By giving people houses and retirement for free, it diminishes the will to work. The people of the country wouldn't want to work because all they needed would be given to them without them having to anything. Also this idea hurts the rich and it restricts creativity. The items that cost a lot of money wouldn't be able to be built becasue nobody would be able to have the funds to build large expensive mechanical objects. Huey Long's idea makes the people too dependant on the government, and that gives the government too much power over the people.
