No. It helped create a more socialistic dependent population in which we are still feeling the effects. Did you ever wonder why our social security system has failed the U.S? The New Deal made many empty promises. Ultimately, it just led to a bigger government and more dependency from its people.

Yes, it solved the most serious problems. The government was forced into action to do something drastic like the other European countries that went to serious depressions during the 1930's. The new deal was a far better alternative then the Nazism of Germany, the Facism of Italy or continued Communism of the Soviet Union. It did not end the depression, because there was seriously bad Federal reserve policy until the beginning of WWII. The increased demand caused by WWII ended the spiraling deflation and lack of demand that characterized the great depression.

No,
it was a half-assed attempt to appease the growing forces of socialism that overtook the population at the time as a result of the Depression.
It was basically a reform movement aimed at stopping the tendency of most Americans towards unionism and socialism (which would have solved the problems of the Great Depression) .
It has now been almost entirely rolled back by the un-democratic, capitalists who desire 1900 style work ethics (child labor, wage slavery etc.) people like Dick Cheney and his cohorts.

the New Deal was a big part of solving the problem but there were a couple of other things also. Prohibition being banned and World War II both played a part also.

No, it did not. The war solved the great depression. The war provided jobs. It's the old Guns vs. Butter debate.

Yes and no it boosted America's infrastructure. What got us out of the Great Depression was after WW2 with the rising middle class.

Apparently, the great depression was over even before WW2 had started so no

it coupled with the war solved it, from what I've heard...

much like how Bush's tax cuts and war spending have stabilized our economy
