What was the New Deal(1st and 2nd) and it's goals(3 R's)?Why did people criticize the New Deal?Why was FDR upset with the US Supreme Court and what did he do to try to solve this issue?How did the New Deal help:unemployed- PWA, gave people construction jobs to get some money in their pockets. The PWA was kind of sucessful because it gave people jobs but it cost about $4 million dollars. CWA created 11/8/1933. Created about 4 million temporary construction jobs becaus the program only lasted about six months, and it spent over one billion dollars so many thought it was a bad organization. RFC, the businesses could expand and it would create more jobs. USHA, look at home owners. Works Projects Administration(WPA), created more constrution jobs, it was up for eight years. They'd go build parks, buildings, roads, reforestation, airport landings, and much more. It was established in 1935 and was revised in 1939, in 1943 it ended. There wasn't really a downfall, but people just started to go on their own and people would start to strike because the money for the organization was running out.farmers-factory workers/labor- National Labor Relations Act(Wagner Act), started minimum wage and max work hours. NLRB, determined if the workers were being treated fairly. It was like the middle man that would come in to help with problems. Very Anti-Laissez Fair. Workers liked it at the start. The Labor Unions didn't like it because it didn't cover all workers. It's still around today.young people- NYA, operated from 1935 to 1943. It was under the Workers Progress Administration. Provided young people with jobs, mainly high schoolers with smaller renovation jobs during or after school. It included girls and boys. There was more than just the renovation jobs, and it allowed kids to go to school and work. Some people didn't like it just because taxes were being taken to pay kids to work. But it was sucessful because it gave kids jobs and let them stay in school. Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC), helped young unemployed people get jobs. They were affected by the Great Depression. It tought them basic skills, it was for 18-25 year old single men with a poor family. It isn't in effect today, and when it went in 1942 the money that was going to the CC went to WWII. They were paid $30 a month and $25 went back to their parents. They were provided with shelter and food though. They did work that would better communities, reforestation, building roads, buildings.banks/business/stock market- RFC,gave banks, railroads, farm associations, and other businesses loans. Gave $2 billion to aid the state and local governments. Started in 1932 by Hoover. With the money the businesses could get more money then the workers would get more money because they could create more stores then there'd be more jobs. The RFC isn't around today, and it was sucessful because it did what it was aimed to do. It's kind of like a bail out because it handled the Great Depression to bring up people again.home owners- USHA,lending money to states and communities for low construction costs. There were about 650,000 low-cost people that needed jobs. It gave jobs to poor/ homeless to get them money and to build low costing housing for poor people. PWA also helped with building 22,000 new housing units.elderly- SSA, tax taken out of your income it covers old people, survivors, and disabled. it was created on August 14, 1935. It's still around today, the baby boomers are retiring now and there may not be enough money.Native Americans- Indian Reorganization Act(IRA), set up to help them because of their terrible living conditions. We gave them land the we had originally took. We assigned land to certain tribes. 174 accepted the act and 78 tribed rejected it. The Dawes Act gave them 160 acres of land and we tried to "Americanize" them. This act kind of got rid of the Dawes Act. The tribes that rejected it just didn't want to trust the American Government again. The IRA was started in 1934, it didn't really stop but we just added laws to it to strengthen it. This was basically seen as a positive, it gave them reservations, schools to teach in their own ways, and tried to let them self govern the land. The tribes may have been put on a reservation with a rival tribe and that rose the crime rate and the conditions of the reservations. They couldn't get control of their government.Describe the culture of the 1930's.Key terms:Hundred Days-fireside chats- Informal monthly addresses that FDR gave from the start of his term until the end of his term. It was usually about good news. The purpose was to have America listen at a time when they didn't know where to turn. He was the first President to use the radio. These were good because it gave people hope about the economy.priming the pump-deficit spending-Breann Lehr
