The New Deal was certainly overall beneficial for our country. By creating more jobs and opportunity for the American people, our country was slowly recovering from the massive depression that hit previously.
The deal mainly involved giving people more jobs and more resources.
But was this too much? Did the New Deal cause the people to be overly reliant on government for their careers and welfare?
Because so many people had government based jobs, the government suddenly became a prime regulator for the economy. They could single handedly help assist or harm the economy.
In addition, the government took care of people in other ways, through social security and other programs. Currently, these programs occupy huge portions of our current expenditures.
The deal caused an influx of power with our government....power that it has to this very day. Is the government now too powerful because of it? And are our people far too reliant on the government because of it?
Leave your thoughts below.
