Roosevelt thought that in order to stimulate the economy, he had to devise a social program called The New Deal- which included government funding, as well as new laws and regulations to protect workers during that time. This social program was in complete contrast to Reagan’s economic policies in that The New Deal got the U.S government involved with the economy, which Reagan was firmly against under the notion of capitalism. One can see that Roosevelt had a much bigger involvement with government in the economy, “Despite the fact that both FDR and Mr. Reagan greatly impacted the way America viewed itself, Roosevelt’s actions impacted the actual workings of the government and economy more than Mr. Reagan’s did Reagan had advocated the government to stay out of the economy, however, Roosevelt had advocated for more government intervention” (The Legacies of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan).

Nearly four decades of definitive data is not an anomaly.
