3 objectives of the New Deal.
-Reform the economic crisis.
-Restore stability.
-Provide relief.
Was the New Deal successful by drawing the U.S. out of its worst depression? The New Deal helped solve massive unemployment and the general misery among the dispossessed, however, it finally took a major war to pull the American economy out of the Great Depression.
New Deal supporters and critics :
Supporters : FDR tried to reform an economic crisis.
Critics : The New Deal was a Raw Deal for business.
Supporters : Created social security.
Critics : Started the welfare state (handout state)
Supporters : Gave labor unions more power.
Critics : Too much bureaucracy.
Supporters : New Deal was revolutionary.
Critics : New Deal was too pragmatic; too trial-by-error; inconsistent; lacked a central guided philosophy.
Extras :
National Industrial Recovery Act : Act passed to form a cooperation between government and industry. It set a minimum wage, maximum work week, abolition of child labor. It tried to raise consumer purchasing power and increase employment. (Good thing)
Social Security Act : Expanded government's activities on behalf of the unemployed. FDR looked at Social Security as insurance.
So, basically, despite all the successes from FDR's attempts to solve the problems of the Great Depression, the war took the America out of the depression.
