The New Deal helped get us out of the Great Depression. However, we have become a welfare state with so many moochers within the system that the reason welfare and such programs were created has been bastardized by the lack of competence of the government at any level to implement it and monitor it. Our taxes are outrageous because of such "entitlement" programs, all of which the politicians are afraid to cut or eliminate.

In a word, yes. However, I believe that WWII played a profoundly greater role in ending the Great Depression than anything the Roosevelt administration did. Nonetheless, the New Deal is recorded by history as a success.

YES, it was. The WPA is still providing tourist dollars in our country.
The FDIC is still there, insuring your bank deposits up to $100,000 per depositor.
FDR was the best president of the 20th century.
