At the time before Frank D. Roosevelt was elected as president America suffered of an economic crisis. So when Franklin Roosevelt was elected as president America he promised to secure the national wealth by starting a campaign, a political decision to kick start the American economy. It was called the first new deal and began in 1933.
The programs were Roosevelt's responses to the great depression, and focused on what historians call the "3 Rs": Relief, Recovery, and Reform. From 1929 to 1933, unemployment in the U.S. increased from 4% to 25% and prices fell by 20 % causing a deflation which made the earnings much smaller. The first deal was supposed to stop the high rate of unemployment. Through plans and reforms the government tried to save the American economy and set the American economy back on track. The main focus was the farmers who didn’t earned enough money. So Roosewelt wanted to make sure that the farmers product increased by price. He invested money on the banks, to stabilize and preventing them from bankruptcy. He wanted to secure the workers a minimum wage through organizations between employees and the owners.
The second deal
The second new deal came a year later. The key word in this plan was well fare. The government wanted to help the elder ones and the unemployed economically. They plan should help the unemployed and the elder ones with economical support. Secure them a certain payment. Because by 1935, it was clear that more Americans still needed federal relief assistance. The second new deal had after all not a huge impact in a way so people wanted to buy more. The second deal secured the elder ones so they weren’t forced to work and the unemployees so they could make descent living by the money they got from the state.
