Over the last couple of classes, we have been talking a lot about the New Deal that was put into place when Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933. The New Deal created a lot of programs that were meant to help the nation get through the Great Depression by creating jobs and opportunities for the unemployed and to stop anything like the Depression from happening again. Some of these programs are still around today. If they were taken away, what do you think would happen to our society? Would we return to the Depression or are there new safety measures in place that would stop that from happening even if the previous safety measures were removed?
Thoughts?
If some of these programs were taken away, some parts of society would fall. For example, without the social security program, people could lose their savings and be left without money when they are older if a bank fails.
ReplyDeleteI think that our society would plummet down because some of our main programs are still in use today. I believe we wouldn't go all the way to the great depression but close to the great recession
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comments above. If these programs were taken away our society would suffer completely because many of these people rely on for life. Without a social security program people would loose large amounts of money which have been saved and could suffer greatly. With all of this we would be going back and history and could later lead to another depression. Like when the stock market crashed.
