One of the things you have to remember about the benefits NY received during the depression is that FDR was a NYer and NY voted overwhelmingly for him. As is the case in many Presidential elections, the part of the country that the President comes from often benefits from Federal funds and other projects. That is why many parts of the IND subway during the 1930s were built with WPA or PWA (or whatever alphabet soup agency was responsible for it) funds. In the case of Trump even though he is a native NYer, since NY went solidly for his opponent, there is no way that he is going to help the opposition. |
