The new deal impacted many people all over America, and some of the terms are still in use today. A good example of this is how the New Deal affected the poor. It created many projects that allowed poor or unemployed people to have many opportunities. This still happens today, constantly people are working on new projects, allowing them to support themselves and their families. The people working on these projects also became happier, because they were proud to improve the US. The poor were also supplied with unemployment insurance as well as social security. This reduced poverty, but there are still many unemployed and poor people in the US.
Another example is how the new deal affected farmers. The government supplied farmers with loans, and allowed them to hire less and less farm workers. Many farm hands lost their jobs, worsening the poverty in rural areas. In light of this, many farms got electricity, allowing people to live comfortably on their farms.
It also affected businesses and workers. The supreme court deemed the NRA unconstitutional, saying that it had too many powers. Congress then passed the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, and it allowed workers the right to join unions and ask of improved conditions and better wages. The NLRB is meant to solve problems between workers and employers, and it still exists today to help.
Even though most new deal programs had ended by 1939, President Roosevelt's actions after the depression affected the USA government. The president recognised the importance of helping citizens in need.
Nicely put.
