Today Rachel and Bri started/ finished their presentations.
Bri- She talked about the FDCA, the food, drug, and cosmetic act, that allowed the government to to better inspect these products before the American people could purchase them.
Rachel- She started talking about "priming the pump" a catch phrase of the New Deal Era, an attempt to "get things started" or to get people to start spending money, to get the economy going during a time when people hoarded their money. She then talked about the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act.
As a side note, I think Mr. Bruns needs to find topics that aren't so closely related to eachother for us to research. In Rachel's two presentations, she and Mr. Bruns covered most of my main points from my Deficit Spending and Agriculture abd Adjustment Act presentasions. Kinda stole my thunder, making my presentaion seem essentially unneeded.
She then talked about the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, whose goals were to conserve soil, to rebalance farm lives and income, and to make products safer for consumsers.
