What was the impact of Franklin D. Roosevelt's new deal on the U.S?

Answer 1

The end result was the beginning of the welfare state, one in which more and more people get help from government, funded by less and less workers.

The immediate result of the New Deal was insignificant. Seven years after FDR became President, the US was still in the depression. So, it didn't stop the depression. The depression ended when the US went to a war-time economy. The New Deal failed short-term.

Long-term effects did have a much greater impact than short-term. For instance, Social Security began with 15 workers for every 1 recipient. Now it is approaching 2 workers per recipient. It is bankrupting the country.

The New Deal told the American people that it is okay to not prepare for your retirement. If you don't, the government will take care of you. It created a permanent sub-class of welfare recipients. You now have 4th and 5th generations of Americans who haven't worked.

The New Deal is slowly turning Americans from a can-do people to a people who waits for the government to do for them what they don't want (not can't) do for themselves.

Answer 3

There is a great deal of information on the New Deal and it is also included in virtually every standardized test in use today. It is good you want to know more about it.

There are innumerable changes the New Deal brought about but the chief purpose of it was to get people to work and to put the American economy back on track. It sort of worked, although by the end of the 1940s America was slipping back into another recession or a depression (depending who is describing it). Please remember, all of these programs gave people real hope, but what go the USA out of the Great Depression was World War II, not any program or Deals that Roosevelt put into place.
