In United States history, the Fair Deal was U.S. President Harry S. Truman's policy of social improvement, outlined in his 1949 State of the Union Address to Congress on January 5, 1949. The name of the policy came directly from this address, in which Truman stated that "Every segment of our population, and every individual, has a right to expect from his government a fair deal."

The only social and economic plan I think Harry S Truman was associated with was the Marshall Plan. This was the plan that rebuilt Europe after the war. It was highly successful. Gen. Marshall presented the plan to Truman fully expecting that it would be adopted a the Truman Plan. Harry told him that it looked like he had winner and it would be implemented as the Marshall Plan. Embarrassed the hell out of Marshall. The USA paid to rebuild France, Germany, Italy, parts of Scandanavia etc. The problem was that they put in new machinery and systems thus putting the manufacturing capacity of these countries, many of them former enemies, ahead of USA and Britian. The economic consequences haven't finished being played out.
