New Deal

Many people lost their jobs during the Great Depression.  The national government responded with President Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal," which

• provided programs to help people make money to provide for their needs. 
• helped reduce the national debt, providing more capital for businesses
• forced people to join the military forces to make money for their needs. 
• forced people to use charities to help them provide for their needs. 

One difference between the administrations of President Roosevelt and President Hoover was that Roosevelt was-

• unwilling to allow government agencies to establish jobs
• able to ignore economic issues for most of his first term in office
• opposed to any type of government regulation of financial institutions
