    George W. Bush was the 43rd president of the U.S and served through 2001 and 2009. We could say that Bush’s term was arguably one of the hardest and darkest times of this nation, not because of his measures as a president but due to the external factors that affected the economy and its citizens (George W.

    The big change in the United States government really happened during the Great Depression when the New Deal was introduced by Franklin Roosevelt. After World War 2 the Federal Government stayed with New Deal ideas and kept expanding its size, with social programs and military power. Democrats felt as the government could be used for good and that social programs such as welfare, were the government’s job. Republicans felt as though it wasn’t the government’s job to provide social programs for the population, and a big government is dangerous to the people’s rights. During the depression, people were desperate for help, but as America’s prosperity grew people needed less of the Government.…
