We continued powerpoints today
The Soil Conservation Act: ended the dust bowl, farmers were paid to reduce the overproduction of crops
Priming the pump: FDR used this term to help the depression along..it was a term used to for deficit spending. Hoover just wasnt doing enough so then Rooselvet used deficit spending to kind of get us out of the hole. They spent millions of dollars just trying to get out of the horrible economy we were in. We still use this method today its got us out of a few sticky situations. Its worth because it helps our economy (tried to help make jobs for people)
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA): created by congress made to develop the proper use of water resources and conservation and preservation land resources..created for flood control and navigation system. Used to sell surplus electricity to avert the waste of water power. Also created new towns and cities. It was drained by the Tennessee River it 41 thousand square miles. They had to use dams because their was so much flooding. Electric power was created by the completed dams. Distributed power to retail consumers. Provided electricity to homes and buisnesses if you didnt have it you were covered and was able to get you electricity. It still around today it makes rivers easier to travel its the largest one in US. Provides recreation and protects water quality. Created tons of jobs.
Court Packing Issues: when FDR was elected he thought the supreme court was really in his way so he thought this was a good opurtunity to confront them. It was declared unconsitutional. He was very concerned that congress would keep declaring these acts unconstitutinal making the economy worse. FDR wanted to add 6 more congress members to the supreme which would help make these acts constitutional he does not get this passed because they thought he was trying to get to powerful.
Difference between the 2nd and 1st new deal: the 1st new was based on the 3R's these programs were put into the effect after the Great depression. FDR knew America needed confidence. the 2nd new deal was more of second stage rather than being a whole thing, improved natural resources and security acts. They called for different objectives based on what the country needed at the time, the 1st new deal dealt with more buisness oriented things like the banks, railroads and labor laws. the 2nd new deal dealt with making labor laws and putting into effect the social security act.
The new deal was FDR's program on the road to recovery from the Great depression
