How does Reagan use contrast to make his point in the highlighted text from Sec. 15 and Sec. 16 of "A Time for ChOosing"?

A. Reagan contrasts a program that "takes from the needy' WITH a program that "gives to the greedy"

B. Reagan contrasts the Federal Housing Authority WITH the Veterans Administration.

C. Reagan contrasts private property rights WITH government planners.

D. Reagan contrasts public housing WITH mortgage foreclosure.

 

15- Meanwhile, back in the city, under urban renewal the assault on freedom carries on. Private property rights [are] so diluted that public interest is almost anything a few government planners decide it should be. In a program that takes from the needy and gives to the greedy, we see such spectacles as in Cleveland, Ohio, a million-and-a-half-dollar building completed only three years ago must be destroyed to make way for what government officials call a "more compatible use of the land." The President tells us he's now going to start building public housing units in the thousands, where heretofore we've only built them in the hundreds. But FHA [Federal Housing Authority] and the Veterans Administration, tell us they have $120.000$ housing units they've taken back through mortgage foreclosure. For three decades we've sought to solve the problems of unemployment through government planning. and the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan. The latest is the Area Redevelopment Agency.

16. They've just declared Rice County, Kansas. a depressed area. Rice County, Kansas, has two hundred oil wells, and the 14,000 people there have over 30 million dollars on deposit in personal savings in their banks. And when the government tells you you're depress down and be depressed.
