Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal vs. Barack Obama's Economic Stimulus Plan Aiding the economy was what both of these plans were meant for. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal aided the American economy to get back on track during the 1930's. Due to the economy suffering severely from the great depression this plan was setup to help boast and get the economy going. Barack Obama's Stimulus Plan was also and aid brought out to save the economy. Due to the country facing the biggest economic crisis since the second world war, Obama and Democratic Party leaders suggested an economic stimulus package to confront the crisis.
During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt used several revolutionary tactics to heal the suffering American economy. These tactics, the providing of public service jobs, the movement for social security and the implementation of a "blanket code" for workers rights, had great success and greatly revolutionized the role of the federal government. The providing of public service jobs (the New Deal) was the tactic that served to heal the most daunting problem in American society, unemployment (document J). In 1935 the Roosevelt administration created the WPA to help employ Americans for publicly funded projects such as "city beautification." As seen in Document J this jobs did help to greatly lower the percentage of unemployed between 1935 and 1938.
Most people were pleased with the government's intervention intervention and wanted it to go further. The Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Social Insurance and Allied Services, or the Beveridge Report, was an influential document in the founding of the Welfare State in the United Kingdom. It was written by William Beveridge, who identified five "Giants" in society: squalor, ignorance, want, idleness and disease, and went on to propose widespread reform to the system of social welfare to address these issues. At the time, this document gained a lot of interest from the public. It was this report that had such a large influence on Labour's reforms after they came into power.
The Great Depression and the New Deal The New Deal covered many aspects of America during the economy because the effect of it happened like a chain reaction. Franklin D. Roosevelt really made a big difference when it came to America. FDR didn’t just make one part of America better; he made sure that everyone, no matter the age or gender, was taken care of. This thoughtful and strategic move made by FDR is the reason why he has been nominated as one of our best presidents in office. The new Deals can be put into categories because, like I said before, it helped many parts of America during the Depression.
Above all the Marshall plan was created as an initiative to provide massive loans for post war reconstruction and both the unemployment benefit and the massive rebuilding programme helped relieve idleness. In tackling squalor the outcome was fairly successful given the problems during that period; there was a poor state of economy; 30% devaluation of the pound and the worst winter of the 20th
Week Two CheckPoint - Eisenhower’s Politics Name: HIS/135 Date: Instructor: Eisenhower’s Politics One of the first innovative things that President Eisenhower did for that particular period of time in the United States was initiate a 20-year-plan called the Interstate Highway Act, enabling the rapidly growing population an alternative means of traveling through towns and across great distances to other cities and states. I think that this was a very practical way for Eisenhower to stimulate the economy with inviting even more people to buy automobiles. One significant event that demonstrated the way in which Eisenhower managed the economy was during the recession of 1953-1954, when Eisenhower made the decision to work on not allowing
He increases it to about 250,000 men, and gives them rewards and benefits for participating. He also began a massive building campaign. He built roads, aqua ducts, and coliseums. This helped the economy by providing services, jobs, and entertainment for the people of Rome. He even fixed prices so people could afford things, and the people of Rome loved Octavian.

I.s) as well as one year of unemployment compensation. It also provided loans for returning veterans to purchase homes and start businesses. The G. I. Bill is considered to be the last piece of New Deal legislation; however, the bill that Roosevelt initially proposed was not as far reaching. The Bill was created to prevent a repeat of the Bonus March of 1932 and a relapse into the Great Depression after World War II ended.
The G.I bill (Servicemen's Readjustment Act) provided veterans with money, college tuition, and low interest loans so that they could buy homes. This contributed to the economy because soldiers returning home had money to spend. Another reason for the economic boom was new technology being invented that people wanted to buy. * In general the prosperity level of all sections of society increased. This brought about basic changes in lifestyle of Americans.
