The new deal was created by FDR. People call it the three R's. Relief to the unemployed and badly hurt farmers, Reform of business and financial practices, and promoting Recovery of the economy during the Great Depression. During this time the unemployment rate was up to 25 percent. The Economy Act was passed on March 14, 1933. The act was to balance the federal budget by cutting the salaries of government employees and cutting money to veterans by fifteen percent. This only save 500 million a year.
