If you are talking about F.D.R. The great depression was a major cause of the New Deal, he was basically trying to boost the economy. If you want to know more about the Great Depression then you can contact me.

I know that prohibition was a big one. The recovery from WWI had alot to do with it also, and the depression. We had 65% unemployment in some areas of the Country. America was crippled from Taft's legislation, and the control of the banks. The Banks couldn't cover the money, that was put into their banks, it wasn't there, "HUH". I would start there.

The prosperity of the economy after WWII gave people hope and extra money to begin the "happy days" lifestyle.  The US was also creating a rival with the USSR (Capitalism vs. Communism) thus creating a great sense of nationalism throughout the country.

There are a lot of WPA projects that are still around today... The New Deal also gave us the FDLIC (government insuring our money in a bank).. that's about all that one can be certain of without conjecture...\n\nHowever, many (including myself) believe that economic policies of the New Deal extended the great depression by eliminating many of the natural market mechanisms that would have restored the economy.  In fact, the New Deal policies in many people's opinions did not end Japanese Depression, it was the advent of the WWII that did.  At this point, if one was to believe in conspiracies, one would hypothesize that FDR forced Japan to attack us and invited the attack by giving the Japanesse an easy target.  At that point, the sky is the limit as far as what things would have changed if the U.S. remained neutral for the war.

you could argue it helped bring the issues back into presidential elections for the first time in a few elections. Since deflation was crippling the farmers and farming was still a major economic activity in the united states local coops were created. Also there was the creation of the populist party which although they werent succesful in presidential elections, they did help get some reforms eventually passed outside of elections. with many people seeking some form of solution to the money problems in the era, the candidates for elections had to take stands on how they were going to solve the problems, which was not as necesary in the previous decades of election.

One reason was a major draught (sometimes called the "dust bowl") which caused produce to cost a lot more and made many farmers poorer becasue they had no crops to sell.\n\nAnother reason was the lack of distribution of the wealth. The rich were very rich, and the poor were very poor.\n\nanother was a lack of federal safeguards for banks. when the stock market crashed, many people took out all their money and the major financial institutions failed.\n\nhere's a quote from one source:\n"The U.S. economy was also reliant upon luxury spending and investment from the rich to stay afloat during the 1920's. The significant problem with this reliance was that luxury spending and investment were based on the wealthy's confidence in the U.S. economy. If conditions were to take a downturn (as they did with the market crashed in fall and winter 1929), this spending and investment would slow to a halt. While savings and investment are important for an economy to stay balanced, at excessive levels they are not good."

Wilson maneuvered through Congress three major pieces of legislation. The first was a lower tariff, the Underwood Act; attached to the measure was a graduated Federal income tax. The passage of the Federal Reserve Act provided the Nation with the more elastic money supply it badly needed. In 1914 antitrust legislation established a Federal Trade Commission to prohibit unfair business practices. \n\nAnother burst of legislation followed in 1916. One new law prohibited child labor; another limited railroad workers to an eight-hour day. By virtue of this legislation and the slogan "he kept us out of war," Wilson narrowly won re-election

What you are describing is the politics of greed, supply side economics is one of the main factors. Giving tax cuts to the very rich while cutting programs to the poor is a symptom of this greed. \n\n I look at it this way, if you have a pile of three boxes setting on the floor and you want to move them if you lift the top box that is the only one that moves. But on the other hand if you lift the bottom box all three move. \n\nOk, the top box represents the rich and very rich, the middle box represents the middle class and the bottom box represents the poor. Our government, lead by president Bush has lifted the top box and left the other two behind and that is what is wrong with the "me" politics of the repuglican party. It is time for a change starting in November. We need more democrats in the house and senate to provide a check and balance to the politics of greed. \n\n No person or family in the United States legally should be without the necessity's of life. Food, shelter and health care.

1. The Military-Industrial Complex. World War II created a vast war industry, that was never really dismantled. In order to manage this vast military machine, the Pentagon was built (during the war). The war machine has been propping up the US economy for the last 60 years.\n\n2. The Presidency itself grew in power thanks to the actions of Fraklin Roosevelt. Truman was an activist president. Eisenhower wasn't as active, but most of his successors have liked wielding presidential power. The more power you want to wield, the more people you need working for you.\n\n3. Simply the growth of the United States. The population has almost doubled since 1940 -- more people, more needs. In order to fill the demands of the American people, there has been a need for more government agencies.

They almost did back in the thirties. It was good old F.D.R. and the new deal that saved America from the Bolsheviks.

When Roosevelt was inaugurated in March 1933, the U.S. was at the nadir of the worst depression in its history. A fourth of the workforce was unemployed. Industrial production had fallen by more than half since 1929. In a country with limited government social services outside the cities, two million were homeless. The banking system was on the point of collapse. There was little violence, but most observers considered it remarkable that such an obvious breakdown of the capitalist system had not led to a rapid growth of fascism (as happened in Nazi Germany). Instead of adopting revolutionary solutions, the American people had turned to the Democrats and to a leader who had grown up in privilege.\n\n\nThe First New Deal, 1933-1934\nRoosevelt indeed had few systematic economic beliefs; he relied heavily on a Brain Trust of academic advisors from leading universities. He saw the Depression as partly a matter of confidence—people had stopped spending, investing, and employing labor because they were afraid to do so. As he put it in his inaugural address: "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." He therefore set out to restore confidence through a series of dramatic gestures.\n\n\nBanking crisis\nA high priority in the first "Hundred Days" was stabilizing the financial system. By inauguration day, state governors in every state had ordered banks closed or placed restrictions on deposits (as bank closings increased, this created more panic as depositors in other states rushed to withdraw funds before a state-imposed holiday was declared in their own states).[3] Roosevelt issued Proclamation 2038 on March 6 ordering "all banking transactions" be suspended through March 9, "in order to prevent the export, hoarding, or earmarking of gold... or currency." On March 9, Roosevelt told Congress in person, "Our first task is to open all sound banks." To accomplish this he asked for and received emergency legislation giving him control over all banks. The same day he received authority to "open such banks as have already been ascertained to be in sound condition, and other such banks as may be found to require reorganization to put them on a sound basis." Thus, all the nation's 19,000 banks had to be inspected before they could reopen. In all, 4,004 banks never reopened; most were small, with an average of $900,000 in deposits. They were merged into stronger banks and eventually the depositors got about 85% of their deposits back. (Historical Statistics X741-7555) At first, Roosevelt opposed bank insurance, but in June he reluctantly signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) law to insure bank deposits. Angered at efforts to manipulate the dollar-gold ratio by European speculators, on April 5th 1933, Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102 that required all persons holding more than $100 in gold coin exchange it for paper money at face value. After January 1934, he then devalued the international value of the dollar by 40% in terms of gold, hoping to stimulate exports. (Freidel 1990 p 101-2)\n\n\nRelief\nDuring the first hundred days of his administration, Roosevelt used his enormous prestige and the sense of impending disaster to force a series of bills through Congress, establishing and funding various new government agencies. These included the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), which granted funds to the states for unemployment relief, and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to hire 250,000 young men to work on rural local projects, as well as the first Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA). The AAA tried to force higher prices for commodities by paying farmers to take land out of crops and cutting herds. In 1936, the U.S. Supreme Court found the AAA to be unconstitutional.\n\nRoosevelt's series of radio speeches, known as Fireside Chats, presented his proposals to the American public. The informal chats not only reassured liste

The biggest one is BUSH borrowing funds from Communists to add to our national debt. China is Communist, and that would have been treason several years ago, well not so many years ago, with Regan or even Clinton.
