Went over forum posts, and the movie we watched on Friday.
Elderly and Poor
- The new deal helped the elderly because it gave them social security
- Social Security- elderly are no longer working, provides money for them
- Elderly Assistance Program
- For the poor- charity, social security, health care
- Long share or wealth programs- Pushed for redistribution and benefits for the poor (take from the rich and give to the poor)
Homeowners, artist, and musicians (New Deal)
- people didn't have money to pay for their homes, they started living on the streets
- Music was falling apart, banks were shutting down many musicians weren't earning enough money
- artist would paint but no one had enough money to buy
- Home Owners Loan Corporation Act- helped the banks out and help them refinance their banks with money so homeowners were able to pay for their homes again
- gave each homeowner a 15 year guarantee of loans
- Federal Music Project-help musicians become employed and earn money
