New Deal Comment

Referring back to what one of my classmates said, Hoover didn't really do anything to help the people during the time of the depression. I found it very interesting that there were such odd ways that people wanted to deal with the unemployed during the depression, such as kill the old and the weak, and freeze the unemployed and thaw them out when prosperity returned. Those are very extreme ideas. The people needed hope, and FDR gave that to them by the New Deal. The programs helped them recover from the Great Depression.
