The New Deal didn’t get to save everyone because it was too late to start the process for employing unemployment to receive jobs but this lead people to lose faith in their president and their government because they didn’t want to wait for a long period of time.

Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives gave limited relief to a populace feeling the pain of unemployment, inflation, and shortages. Surprisingly, even with major changes such as increased federal spending, regulating prices, job placement programs, the enlargement of unions, more availability of home loans, the beginning of the social security program as well as the public's renewed faith in the government did almost nothing to bring prosperity to the people. By the end of the 1930s, the unemployment rate in America was sitting at 17% with a poverty level of almost 30%; and those needing help the most secured few of the benefits touted in the New Deal. As it turned out, the New Deal did not end the depression as President Roosevelt had hoped.…

    While providing relief for suffering Americans, some thought that the United States government was moving towards communism (Doc. 2). However, the only goal of New Deal relief programs was to provide millions of Americans with employment, and help them provide for their families, not change the form of government. Others may say that the New Deal was a failure because of the cost. While it is true that the total government debt rose because of the programs (Doc. 3), the money went straight to people in need of food, shelter, and employment. The benefits provided to the people because of the relief programs outweigh the overall cost to the government.…
