Well, the New Deal extended the power, influence of the Federal Government. Nations can be pretty petty, and states - and state rule -
can be pretty backward and self-defensively obsessive in anti-progress
attitudes.
The Federal Government got employment for a lot of citizens, and had
many of them reconstructing our infrastructure. Roads, dams, etc...
FDR was a wise-guy too,like politically incorrect, is common. Men's life-
expectancy didn't reach 65, the retirement age, though women's did...by a
hair's breadth ?
The New Deal offered aid through programs; such as the WPA, NYA, FSA, And social security. These programs offered jobs, loans, and ad to those in need.
