Today, in class, we got on the computers and did our powerpoints. I will have to present today. what a joke.

 

The New Deal was there to help the economy. Also, prohibition ended after the outrage in the 20's. They decided to make money from it and taxed beer and wine. Huey Pierce Long Jr. was the 40th governor of Lousiana, then a US Senator. He created the Share our Wealth program in 1934 to redistribute wealth (Communist). He was a critic of the Federal Reserve systems and their policies.

 

The CCC was a public work relief progra in the US for unemployed men agest 18-25. It put young men to work building roads, developing parks, planting trees, and helping in soil-erosion and flood control. It was created to help the families, as they got 25 of the 30 dollars the men would make. It is no longer around today.

 

The USHA built houses for about 650,000 low income families. Poverty decreased drastically, as morale increased.

 

I had to present, however for some reason I did not have my finished powerpoint. a;lgjfsdlfjasl
