Financial aid has been supplied to the jobless.

Explanation: The New Deal established federal relief programs and unemployment insurance and expanded the federal role in providing economic relief (WPA, CCC, Social Security). In later recessions, governments have followed that precedent by providing unemployment benefits, direct aid, and stimulus spending. The other choices contradict New Deal patterns: it increased federal power rather than shifting power to states, it raised/maintained taxes on wealthier citizens rather than cutting them, and it created/expanded social programs rather than cutting them.
