blog assignment this week is some 30s related stuff, including fashion, music, sports, fads, movies. i got fads. wee.
so the weather outside is frightful....i had to stop twice on the way to school to scrape the ice off my windshield. made me late for school. its possible we'll get out early today. also possible we'll have either a late start or no school tomorrow and/or wednesday. =)
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
made the Food and Drug act more clear with better standards. strengthened laws and penalties.
Priming the Pump
(franklin) roosevelt hopes putting in lots of money in the hope that it will get the new deal rolling, eventually resulted in success. so, billions of dollards were spent every year. yikes. but it helped temporarily.
new deal programs got cut bakc financially after 5 years, causing things to start failing again.
Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act
made to tell farmers to farm less in order to have less surplus.
was the follow-up of another new deal thing that got repealed because it was unconstitutional to tax one specific group of people in order to pay another. (agriculture adjustment act)
famers who used soil-enriching crops got a bonus. government encouraged techniques to prevent erosion. like terracing and windbreaks.
