The New Deal: Crash Course US History #34

[@katepowell3598]

My great great grandfather is Henry Steagall. He's the one that actually wrote out the Glass-Steagall Act. My family still owns the pens that it was signed with. I just thought it was cool. Have a great day!

[@philippe.hansen-estruch4748]

[@pollux3742]

If your teacher wanted you to write 10 facts like mine does, here you go. 1. Roosevelt suggested it was the government's responsibility to guarantee every man a right to make a comfortable living. 2. FDR called for an end to prohibition. 3. FDR didn't create the new deal or put it into effect. It was passed by Congress. 4. The new deal was a set of government programs intended to fix the depression and prevent future depressions. 5. Relief programs gave help and money to people in need. 6. Recovery programs gave people jobs 7. Reform programs were designed to regulate the economy in the future to prevent more depressions. 8. The NRA was designed to be government planners and business leaders working together to coordinate industry standards for production, prices, and working conditions. 9. The Wagner act guaranteed workers the right to unionize and it created a national labor relations board to hear disputes over unfair labor practices. 10. The social security act of 1935 included unemployment insurance, aid to the disabled, aid to poor families with children, and retirement benefits. Its funded by payroll taxes instead of general tax revenue.

It was interesting how FDR's New Deal didn't end up ending the Depression on its own. By 1940 over 15% of the work force remained unemployed, he did decrease the unemployment rate by 10%, but when FDR reduced government spending to farms, unemployment jumped back up to 20%. In the end, the New Deal did play a huge factor in helping end the Great Depression, but not as much as we thought it would..

What FDR understood and his new deal addressed is that capitalism eventually eats it's self and you need a bit of social programs and socialism from keeping it from cannibalizing itself. America of or centuries had a balance of socialism to keep its enterprise from wreaking havoc on what the Bible would say, the least among us, but we are quickly becoming a hundred percent capitalism, which for the one percent might be a boom but for the rest of us will be noting but a bust.

[@plankalkulcompiler9468]

[@NewWorldAhead]

FDR saved America and the working man... any president that promotes the working man over the rich and big business usually succeeds.

[@thomasfrey859]

They succeed because there are MORE working class folks than there are rich people. Thus more votes. However, that doesn't mean that this hypothetical platform has any lasting benefits for society as a whole. Like it or not, it is the money of the rich that funds everything in this country, and we'd all be a lot worse off if the rich didn't exist. (we also need the working class, don't get me wrong)

[@NewWorldAhead]

Thomas Frey Are you rich? Because if you're not, your statement is ridiculous.

[@thomasfrey859]

No, not rich. I have a decent paying job and am not hurting though. But many can agree that having too many people rely on government assistance is probably not a sustainable practice. People should get an honest wage for an honest job. Both greed (seen as a rich problem) and entitlement (seen as a poor problem) are bad for everyone. And while FDR's programs may have helped at the time, they also created unsustainable entitlement programs like Soc.Sec. And the vast majority of non-military technology advances are made by for-profit companies run by the investments made possible by the rich, so we do have to consider that when cursing their names.

[@NewWorldAhead]

Thomas Frey And government can limit the corruption in the private sector as well which many people seem to forget.

[@thomasfrey859]

Government can't limit the corruption in government, much less the private sector. But I am interested in your statement. I don't recognize any aspect of the new deal which was specifically targeted at limiting the private sector, but it is a topic that is very applicable to the problems of today. In what way do you suggest that the government do this (I'm 100% serious, not trying to be rhetorical)? Are you looking at mainly taxation in general to redistribute assets, or actually prosecuting people like Bernie Madoff who are clearly corrupt?

[@cassidyemaier]

These videos help me so much 😭

[@Zoomy]

Say what you will about the New Deal, but I wish FDR was in charge of the UK right now. Our government's doing pretty much the opposite and now we're the 7th largest economy but with living standards and conditions comparable to developing nations.

[@Peteruspl]

Any socialist leaning person would. The problem is in actually deciding if this is the right solution. There are always enormous numbers of factors in any economic event. Some PHds in economics will say A is an outcome, some B. You'll have to at least read both to get any informed opinion (though - no guarantees - they may all be wrong).
