The new deal was the name that Franklin roosevelt gave to his recovery plans in 1933 to 1936. He had three main points to his plans in the new deal that are called the 3 R's releif, reform, and recovery. Releif was meant to help unemployed people and farmers, reform of buisnesses and banks, and recovery of the economy in general.When Roosevelt took became president on March 4, 1933 state govenors closed all banks nationwide, the employment rate was abouve 25% and farm income had fallen by 50% in the last 4 years. So Roosevelt had a lot in front of him for becoming president just like Obama did. most people would consider the new deal to be broken up into 2 parts. the first new deal which happened in 1933 and a second new deal which happened between 1934 and 1936.The first new deal dealt mainly with railroads, industries, and farming. The first deal tried to fix problems with inflation, price stabilization, farm releif, buisness regulations.The second new deal included many acts and organizations that were formed. Like the Wagner act, works progress administration, and the social security act. the second new deal was geared mainly to tenant and migrant farmers. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration or AAA main goal was to raise the price of farm crops by making them artificially scarce. the government paid some farmers to leave some plots of land unplanted so there would be less crops and the farmers would be making money again. in 1993 ten million acres of unharvested cotton was plowed up to drive up the price of cotton and 6 million baby pigs were killed to increase the price of pork. in 1963 the supreme court declared the AAA to be unconstitutional, and was soon replaced by a similar program
