Paragraph summarizing the success of the New Deal.
When President Roosevelt took office in 1933, he feverishly created program after program to give relief, create jobs, and stimulate economic recovery for the U.S. These programs were called "alphabet soup" as well as the "New Deal." Programs include the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Civil Works Administration, and the Works Progress Administration all aided in boosting the American economy.
Paragraph summarizing the failure of the New Deal.
The New Deal was allegedly wasteful, incompetent, and contradictory. All the New Deal’s laws and programs could not end the depression. In fact, from 1937 to 1938 the depression grew worse. The National Recovery Administration (NRA) illegal, he Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) unconstitutional, and 11 out of 16 of the Alphabet Laws were decreed unconstitutional. The New Deal also caused many Americans to become more dependent on the government hence, low self esteem. Fears revolved around the fact that the government was becoming too powerful. With regard to the African Americans, the New deal permitted discrimination. Programs forced them to live in segregated housing. African American workers who were serving in Civilian Conservation Corps served in segregated units
5 most succesful new Deal programs:
1. Social Security Act
2. Public Works Administration(PWA) both 1st new deal and 2nd new deal.
3. Works Progress Administration(WPA)

Success of the New Deal:
The New Deal in many ways was very succesful and helped millions of Americans even if it was for a short amount of time. The crash of the stock market had created chaos and many Americans had lost their jobs and homes. Roosevelt who created these programs which focused on:reform, recovery and relief. For instance the creation of PWA and WPA created many jobs for Americans which slowly but surely boosted up the economy. Some of the programs of the New Deal dug America up for the Great Depression. Some of the programs did only not help but they made the Depression worse. For instance the AAA and NRA which were declared unconstitutional and did not help anyone. Even though the New Deal created many deals many Americans were still unemployed and the economy was still in a very bad shape. So the New Deal programs did little to boost up the economy and provided temperary jobs which then left Americans unemployed.
Failure of the New Deal:
Although the New Deal helped create many jobs for Americans, the jobs only lasted about 6 months and then the employed again became unemployed. The New Deal had in a way created a cycle which did not help America in any way. A

Success!!
The New deal/alphabet soup was created in conjunction with the three R's. The ones that I listed in the top five were most successful because they instituted employment and bettering the economy after the depression. The programs provided for millions and billions in financial support. The Social Security Act is probably the most notable because it still stands today although it is beginning to fail.
YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A NO GOOD FAILURE!!
The programs that are in my bottom five (6-10) are complete utter failures. Personally, I think some President got a hold of some alcohol and probably just wrote whatever he thought was plausible. The AAA is probably one of the most idiotic things that he did. He encouraged destruction of crops that are needed. And the NRA is self explanatory because that was deemed unconstitutional.
So pretty much Hend (HI hend!!) and I are the same page.
successful (in no particular order):
1. Public Works admin.
2. CCC (civilian conservation corp.)
3. HOLC (home owners' loan corp.)
4. SSA (social security act)
5. FERA (Federal Emergency Relief Admin.)
6. FHA (federal housing admin.)
7. CWA (civil works admin.)
8. REA (rural electrification admin.)
9. TVA (Tennessee valley authority)
10. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)
Successes:
During this time of confusion and desperation, the president had to step in and help his country. Following his policy of relief, recovery, and reform, he rushed to establish programs that would alleviate some of the problems. Some of his programs proved to be helpful by providing employment, housing and options for those in need as well as some programs that helped to advance the US economy. So the programs did have a good impact and made a difference.
failures:
1. AAA (agricultural adjustment admin.)
2. FSA (farm securities act)
3. NRA (national recovery admin.)
4. NIRA (national industrial recovery act)
5. Court-packing
failures:
Just like with most things, with the good comes the bad. With the mass multitude of policies that Roosevelt was blurting out at light speed, there was bound to be a couple that were unnecessary. The country, the people as a whole, weren't getting help that they needed through some of these programs and eventually soem of these programs were recognized as unconstitutional and of no help whatsoever. So while the programs of the new deal may have helped, at most times, it proved to be more useless than not.
I'd have to disagree with those who don't think that the Civilian Conservation Corps was a failure. ( hend and marcus and so on). In a time of trouble, you need to provide for the people and even if it is mundane jobs like keeping the park clean, it keeps these people from being unemployed. Besides having a clean park is nice ^-^. It's a good thing that attention got turned to environmental issues, because we've screwed with the environment enough as it is.
I agree with Brownie-pants that the although the programs were short-lived, they did help the economy to a certain point.

1. Agricultural Adjustment Admin

4. NRA
5. CCC
The New Deal program was based on the three r's of relief, recovery and reform. Many of the programs were very successful and remain in effect today including Social Security, FDIC, federal housing and the TVA. These programs were helpful in pushing America out of the depression and into the next age.
However, some of these programs were complete failures as well. The Agricultural Adjustment Admin advocated farmers plowing up their fields to decrease supply of crops to increase prices. This was completely unnecessary especially during a time of depression. Other millions of dollars were spent on similar failed programs that threatened to keep America lodged in the Great Depression.

New deal Success:
The new deal benefited many Americans; even if the help was minimal it did make a change. With these hard times, the President had to make a change. Some of his programs proved to be helpful by providing better employment, as well as more housing and options for those in need. He also had programs, (Alphabet soup) which helped advance/boost the United States Economy.
Failure of New Deal was probably because the jobs that were given only seemed to help Americans for a limited time. The employment cycle was also getting really bad. So now at this point, the New Deal had created some sort of a cycle and did not benefit many people
I would have to agree with Hend. When she states that the (alphabet soup) helped aid many Americans.
I can also agree with The Next Black Billionaire, with his comments on why the New Deal was successful.
I agree with the next black billionaire regarding the failure of the AAA. Destroying fields of crops was completely unnecessary when people were faced with the depression.
I also agree with brownie pants regarding the employment situation of some of the new deal programs. However, even though jobs could have been temporary, they did provide income and therefore helped the economy and people in one way or another.

Success:
In 1933 when President Franklin Roosevelt took office he brought with him his goals of economic relief. Reform,recover, and relief where his goals in which he established programs to stimulate the economy for the U.S. These programs were called "alphabet soup" as well as the "New Deal". Programs aiding in boosting American economy by providing jobs for the unemployed(PWA & WPA). While others provided a means of housing and employment.
Least/ Unsuccessful:
Many of the programs however from "alphabet soup" and the "New Deal" had been deemed unconstitutional or illegal by congress. Ex: NRA was illegal & the AAA unconstitutional. 11 out of the 16 programs formed from "Alphabet Soup" had been creed unconstitutional. These programs cause the destruction of crops and a short means of employment for a short amount of time by that time they became unemployed again. These deals however to help American in its depression cause it to actually worsen from 1937-1938.

I agree with hend that FDR worked vigorously to establish programs that would stimulate the economy and its growth.
I disagree with Marcus on his opinion of a drunken president writing down stuff on a piece of paper. He merely just had a council of advisors through up a bunch of options then they blindfolded him and spun him around then told him to point.. While drunk.

Success of the New Deal
Through the reform programs of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the New Deal was successful in helping millions of Americans stabilize their lives. The unfortunate stock market crash, caused by uneven distribution of income, stock market speculation, excessive use of credit, and many more factors, left millions of Americans homeless and jobless. FDR’s New Deal programs, PWA, TVA, CWA, and WPA hired laborers for temporary construction projects sponsored by the federal government, creating jobs for the poor and gradually elevating the economy. In addition, FDR was considerate of senior citizens as well, who could not do hard labor. He passed the Social Security Act, still in effect today, that would collect taxes from employees and employers their entire working careers and save that money in a trust fund. Then, the trust fund would be used to make monthly payments to retired people over the age of 65. In addition to senior citizens, people who had lost their jobs, blind or disabled, and dependent children and their mothers could take advantage of this act. All in all, the New Deal was successful in putting millions of people back to work, hence elevating the economy.
Failure of the New Deal
Even though most of the New Deal programs could be classified as key to taking the country out of depression, some pushed the country further in. For example, the AAA, which was declared unconstitutional, urged farmers to dump their crops, creating more demand for them, therefore, raising prices. They could have just donated that food to homeless people instead of dumping it. Also, most of the programs that were “providing jobs” for the unemployed would be terminated, making millions unemployed again.
I agree with lakers_117 and the next black millionaire regarding AAA. I believe that dumping crops to raise prices and demand further pushes the country into depression.
I disagree with the next black millionaire, however, regarding FDR being drunk and writing anything on paper. FDR had a Brain Trust, consisting of university professors, who advised him, giving shape ot the New Deal.

5. Rural Electrification Administration (REA)
President Franklin D. Roosevelt ran a revolutionizing administration during the Great Depression through his New Deal programs. Some of the acts passed during his administration are still around today, such as the Social Security Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission. Other programs would aid the country in surviving the Depression, at least until WWII came around. Something to be taken into account is the drastic change that the New Deal presented for laborers. The Wagner Act guarenteed a worker's right to join a union and a union's right to bargain collectively. Also, the Fair Labor Standards Act established a minimum wage and a maximum workweek for laborers.
No matter how successful, the New Deal also had its setbacks. Many of the programs would be struck-down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional, such as the NRA and the AAA. Still others were unsuccessful on their own account, due to bad planning or simply a bad idea. Also, the New Deal did little to improve conditions for both African Americans and women.
I deeply agree with Kobe17 on the idea that the AAA could have just donated the food to those in need during the Depression, or the soup kitchens.
I somewhat disagree with Hend's idea that the National Labor Relations Board was unsuccessful, since it was established under the Wagner Act, which had an enormous impact on organized labor.

To counter act the Great Depression FDR came up with the New Deal with programs like the PWA, WPA, and SSA which were very successful in my opinion. The first two provided relief to the people by providing employment, improving public welfare, and contributing to a revival of American industry. While the SSA is still around today and still pays older Americans. Many things in this New Deal helped this country out during this time and some are still used today.
The least successful acts such as AAA was deemed unconstitutional. This got rid of many crops that could've been used, and turned out to be a useless effort. And the NRA turned out to be unconstitutional as well because it violated the constitutions separation of powers. So even though some of the New Deal worked out well for the country there were other things such as these two that ended going wrong for the country.
I Agree with man o steel with his ideas that the PWA was the most successful because it provided the most relief for the country.
I also agree with kobe17 with the fact that the AAA was dumb because it forced farmers to dump their crops. Although I don’t think that donating the food to the homeless would work out too well, i still think that a different strategy could've been used instead.
Top 10 most successful New Deal Programs
1. Public Works Administration (PWA) - allotted money to state and local governments for building roads, bridges, dams, and other public works. It was a source of thousands of jobs.
2. Wagner Act- guaranteed a worker’s right to join a union and a union’s right to bargain collectively. It outlawed business practices that were unfair to labor.
3.Fair Labor Standards Act- established a minimum wage, a maximum workweek of 40 hours and time and a half overtime, and child-labor restrictions
4.Works Progress Administration (WPA)-provided people with jobs. Unemployed artists, writers, and actors were paid to pain murals, write histories, and perform in plays.
5.Social Security Act- to cushion future depressions, the measure provided for federal-state unemployment insurance. Also benefited the unemployed, the disabled, and dependent children and their mothers.
6.Civil Works Administration- designed to provide purely temporary jobs during the cruel winter emergency, it served a useful purpose.
7.Home Owner’s Loan Corporation (HOLC)-designed to refinance mortgages on nonfarm homes, it ultimately assisted about a million badly pinched households.
8.Tennesseee Valley Authority (TVA)- by far the most revolutionary of all the New Deal schemes. It brought to the area not only full employment and the blessings of cheap electric power, but low-cost housing, abundant cheap nitrates, the restoration of eroded soil, reforestation, improved navigation, and flood control.
9.Federal Housing Administration (FHA)- the building industry was to be stimulated by small loans to householders, both for improving their dwelling and for completing new ones.
10.Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)- proved to be perhaps the most popular of all the New Deal “alphabetical agencies.” This law provided employment in fresh-air government camps for about 3 million uniformed young men, many of whom might otherwise have been driven by desperation into criminal habits. Both human resources and natural resources were conserved.
Bottom 5 Least Successful New Deal Programs
1.Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA)- “sinful” destruction of food, at a time when thousands of citizens were hungry. It increased condemnation of the American economy system by many left-leaning voices.
2.United States Housing Authority (USHA)- an agency designed to lend money to states or communities for low-cost construction. New Deal efforts to expand the project collided with brick-wall opposition from real estate promoters, builders, and landlords. Anti-New Dealers attacked what they considered down-the-rat hole spending.
3.National Recovery Administration-designed to assist industry, labor, and the unemployed but later declared unconstitutional in Schechter vs. U.S. Too much self-sacrifice was expected of labor, industry, and the public for such a scheme to work.
4.Farm Security Administration (FSA)- set up camps to house Okies. Did not really help the effects of the Dust Bowl.
5.Indian Reorganization Act (Wheeler-Howard)- returned lands to the control of tribes and supported the preservation of Native American cultures. However, despite this major reform, critics later accused the New Deal of being paternalistic and withholding control from Native Americans.
The New Deal was successful in many ways because not only did it help the economy and the unemployed as well as businesses, but also senior citizens, the disabled, underprivileged children, the homeless, and many others. The program was created to give relief for people out of work, recovery for business and the economy as a whole, and reform of American economic institutions. During the time of the Great Depressions when many were out of jobs and homes, some of his programs proved to be helpful by providing better employment, as well as more housing and options for those in need. Examples of these successes include the Public Works Administration which allotted money to state and local governments for building roads, bridges, dams, and other public works becoming was a source of thousands of jobs. One other great success was the Wagner Act, which guaranteed a worker’s right to join a union and a union’s right to bargain collectively. It outlawed business practices that were unfair to labor. The Social Security Act acted as a cushion to future depressions as it provided for federal-state unemployment insurance. It also benefited the unemployed, the disabled, and dependent children and their mothers. The Home Owner’s Loan Corporation was designed to refinance mortgages on nonfarm homes, it ultimately assisted about a million badly pinched households. Overall, the New Deal programs made a difference to millions of Americans during the Great Depression.
However, by 1938 the New Deal had clearly lost most of its early momentum. Foes of the New Deal condemned its alleged waste, incompetence, confusion, contradictions, and cross-purposes, as well as the chiseling and graft in the alphabet soup. Promises of budget balancing had flown out the window and the national debt has skyrocketed by 1939. Business was bitter. People accused the New Deal of fomenting class strife, conservatives insisted that the laborer and the were being pampered. Private enterprise was being stifled by “planned economy”, “planned bankruptcy”, and “creeping socialism.” States’ rights were being ignored, while the government was competing in business with its own citizens. More importantly, the New Deal had failed to cure the depression. Many economists came to believe that better results would have been achieved by much greater deficit spending. The gap was not closed between production and consumption. There were more farm surpluses under Roosevelt than under Hoover. Millions of dispirited men and women were still unemployed in 1939.

The first ten are the most successful mainly because they were designed to help America and its people get through the tough times that the depression brought. They also were intended to get America out of the depression. Some of these programs helped Americans with employment and housing, and also helped the economy. These programs helped relieve the tension that the depression had caused.
Although there were some helpful programs, not all were successful. The bottom five programs were some of the least successful mainly because they were ruled unconstitutional or illegal. Also programs such as the AAA were completely unnecessary and it hurt America. The destruction of crops was something America didn’t need and it harmed it. This program was one of the many deemed unconstitutional.
I agree with esther leechi’s disagreeing with those who think that the CCC was a failure. Yes! Having a clean park is nice. I think we should go to the park, esther. HARADA. Well, maybe not in this windy weather…
Not only did it prove to be the most popular of the New Deal alphabet soup agencies, but it provided employment for those who might otherwise have been driven by desperation into criminal habits. Is keeping criminals off the streets a failure?
I also agree with Aditya’s statement that the Agricultural Adjustment Administration contributed to the failure of the New Deal. It advocated farmers plowing up their fields to decrease supply of crops to increase prices. I think this was completely unnecessary during a time of depression, too.

I also agree with brownie pants about the employment issue. After some time there would be the same unemployment rates as before.

SUCCESS OF NEW DEAL
The New Deal was crfeated to help support the policy of relief, recovery, and reform. President Roosevelt rushed to create many programs that would allow for the country to recover economically. The craetion of the PWA and WPA helped to employ those that were unemployed and boost the United States economy ever so slowly.

FAILURE OF NEW DEAL
Although the main goal of Roosevelt's new deal was to get the country out of depression, many of thepolicies created by Roosevelt did help us but some pushed us even further into depression. The destruction of crops (AAA) and the employment of many unemployed for only a short period of time would be examples of the negative effects of the new deal.

In my opinion many of FDR’s plans were very successful. These plans include the PWA, WPA, and SSA. These acts or plans improved public welfare, provided job opportunities, and added to the revival of American business. Such acts like the SSA are still around today and help senior citizens in the United States.
One of the least successful acts was the AAA. This act in fact was deemed unconstitutional. This act turned out to be very defective; it was a fall back to farmers. It did nothing and was very ineffective. Another act that was ineffective was the NRA was unconstitutional; it contradicted the constitutions separation of powers.
In no particular Order:

1. Work Projects Administration
2. Social Security Act
3. Public Works Administration
4. Federal Housing Administration
5. Tennessee Valley Authority
In short, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal Program helped to bring relief, recovery, and reform by providing many jobs to many people out of work with the PWA and the WPA, stabilizing and later improving much of the economy with the FHA and TVA, and also, helping those who were retired with his Social Security Act.
Unsuccessful
1. National Recovery Administration
2. Farm Credit Administration
3. Agricultural Adjustment Administration
4. Farm Securities Act
5. Court Packing
Whenever there was the good, there usually always is the bad. In the case with FDR’s New Deal, many of these laws were labeled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Also, many of these acts made the American population highly dependent on the federal government. Also, many of the jobs provided were temporary, some lasting only six months, providing temporary, not lasting, relief.

Success:
With the drive of the "Three R's", recovery, relief, and reform, some of the successes of the New Deal were that with the new oppurunties constantly arriving, it improved the percentage of unemployment among Americans. With the new programs being made, they mainly focused on improving American citizens as a whole. The reform programs were based on assisting farmers to gain more profit from their revenues, protecting workers by letting them join unions for better benefits for them and their family, providing the unemployed with temporary construction jobs and give small loans to home-owners in order to improve the invest of their home and to help build new homes for buyers.
Failures:
Many criticized the New Deal by claiming that it did nothing to help those affected by the Great Depression, but caused the U.S. more debt than it was intended to. Roosevelt promised the U.S. citizens that he would figure out a way to balance the budget, and although he did aid many with new programs to help this problem, it seemed the more oppurunties the more money to be invested which was more of a lost to the American economy. Businesses were pampered,as usual and continued to flourish as the American middle and lower class continued to struggle.

Successes:One of the most lasting achievements of the Second New Deal was the creation of Social Security benefits for the elderly through the Social Security Act of 1935.Support for organized labor was another major feature of the Second New Deal. The government supported unionization and collective bargaining with the 1935 National Labor Relations Act, popularly known as the Wagner Act, which provided a framework for collective bargaining. The Wagner Act granted workers the right to join unions and engage in bargaining, and forbid employers from interfering with, or discriminating against, union rights.

Failure:
Those who criticize the New Deal claim that it never actually got rid of unemployment in America and that Roosevelt's New Deal only had short term impact which stalled the unemployed into thinking that all their troubles were at an end.The efforts of the AAA, combined with a severe drought in the American heartland, effected a drop in farm production, prompting a rise in farm prices. However, while the AAA did much to help large landowners and commercial farmers, it did little for landless laborers and tenant farmers who populated the rural Midwest. In 1936, the Supreme Court ruled the AAA unconstitutional, claiming it enforced illegal taxation.
Most Successful-
1.TVA
2.REA

5.SEC
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) provide flood control, electricity, fertilizer manufacturing, and a boosted economy in the Tennessee Valley region. The (REA) Rural Utilities Servie provided electricity to rural areas. The PWA spent big bucks on big projects and helped to stimulate the economy through internal improvements. The SSA provided a means for retirement and welfare benefits for tons of Americans. Overall all these programs either helped Americans through hard times or helped to stimulate the economy.
Least Successful-
1.AAA
2.FSA
3.NRA
4.CCC
5.court packing
The Agricultural adjustment act (AAA) cause a decrease in the number of crops produced and consumers faced higher prices when buying goods. The good came from a slight increase in profit for the farmers. All of these in a way backfired on Roosevelt and didn't help his administration. Scandals, economic downfalls, and unemployment all came from some of his failures.

Success of The New Deal:
Roosevelt was President during the Great Depression, it was a difficult time for the U.S. Many people lost their homes, jobs, and basically their life. Roosevelt created many programs to help the nation, they focused on reform, recovery, and relief. They helped create jobs, employ people, although these jobs were only temporary.
Failure of The New Deal:
The New Deal had a few positives but more negatives for the U.S. Many of the programs created during the Depression were declared unconstitutional and had no positive effect on the economy.
I completyely agree with hend. She discusses the negative effects of the programs created, it segregated people and many of th programs were unconstitutional.
I also agree with flo<3 she states that the programs had good intentions to create more job opportunities, during the Great Depression.
Franklin D Roosevelt’s New Deal was successful in many ways. The WPA provided 3.4 million men and women jobs who had been formerly on relief rolls. Furthermore, the PWA, which was directed by the Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes provided thousands of temporary jobs through public works and construction projects. The Wagner Act granted workers the right to join unions and bargain collectively. Social Security Act created a collection of taxes that would be used to make monthly payments to retired people over 65, thus causing circulation within the economy. Lastly the SEC regulated the stock market and placed strict limits on speculating the stock market.

5. Securities and Exchange Commission
Though the New Deal was successful it also had its down falls. The AAA encouraged farmers to reduce their production of crops by paying them government subsidies for them to plow farm acres under. In addition it was declared unconstitutional. Another failure that was pleaded unconstitutional was the NRA in which it set codes for wages, hours of work, levels of produce, and the prices of finished goods. Although the government provided loans and mortgages to farmers through the Farm Credit Administration due to price deflation of farm goods the low interest rates couldn’t be paid off. The CCC proved to be unsuccessfull because it employed young men to work on projects on federal lands in segregated units. Lastly the Court Packing Act was a failure in which it proposed that there would be one additional justice for each current justice that was older than 70.5 years old, however it was pleaded unconstitutional.

Successes:
1. Social Securities
2. WPA
3. PWA
4. Wagner Act
5. Keynesian economics
FDR’s New Deal programs were, for the most part, an overall success. First, the Social Security Act created a federal insurance program based upon the automatic collection of taxes from employees and employers throughout people’s working careers. The Social Security trust fund would then be used to make monthly payments to retired persons over the ago of 65. Second, the WPA, under the operation of Hopkins, employed over 3.5 million men and women who had formerly been on the relief rolls of state and local governments. It paid them doubled the relief rate but less than the going wage for regular workers. Thirdly, the PWA, directed by Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, allotted money to state and local governments for building roads, bridges, dams, and other public works. Such construction projects were a source of thousands of jobs. Fourthly, the Wagner Act guaranteed a worker’s right to join a union and a union’s right to bargain collectively. Lastly, Keynesian economics was a successful ideology for curing the depression in a way that it said that federal spending on public works and relief went up, so too did employment and industrial production.
Failures:
1. Court Packing
2. NRA
3. AAA
4. CCC
5. Farm Credit Administration
Although FDR’s New Deal ideology was successful for the most part, there proved to be some flaws in his plans for getting America out of depression. First, his court packing proposal was unsuccessful. This Court Packing idea was the idea that the president be authorized to appoint to the Supreme Court an additional justice for each current justice who was older than 70.5 years of age. Second, the NRA set codes for wages, hours of work levels of production, and prices of finished goods. The law creating the NRA also gave workers the right to organize and bargain collectively. The complex program operated with limited success for two years before the Supreme Court declared the NRA unconstitutional. Thirdly, the AAA encouraged farmers to reduce production by offering to pay government subsidies for every acre they plowed under. The AAA met the fate as the NRA and was declared unconstitutional in a 1935 Supreme Court decision. Fourthly, the CCC employed young men on projects on federal lands and paid their families small month sums. Although the main idea of the CCC was meant for the good of the young men, the racial issue proved itself to be the problem as the young men worked in segregated units instead of integrated ones. Lastly, the Farm Credit Administration provided low-interest farm loans and mortgages to prevent foreclosures on the property of indebted farmers. Although this idea seems to be beneficial towards success, the substantially decreased prices of finished farm products made it hard for farmers to get out of debt and depression and would eventually end up getting them foreclosed.

Though progress did not seem inevitable during this time of despair, President Franklin Roosevelt stepped up to the situation with the novel approach of his New Deal Program. His ideal concept of the three R’s (relief, recovery, and reform) helped pave the way for the reconstruction of the nation’s economic, social, and political aspects. Although some of the programs that Roosevelt conveyed were unsuccessful, the list above asserts those programs that were successful. The most prominent of these programs, the PWA, helped provide thousands of jobs of the unemployed by the public works. Such programs listed above notably assisted Americans with housing, payments, and other vital necessities.
Least Successful
1. National Recovery Administration (NRA)
2. Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA)
3. Farm Securities Act (FSA)
4. Court Packing
5. National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA)
Although there were many successes in Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, we also have to take into account the failures that came along with it. For instance, the most prominent of these failures would have to be the NRA. Such program attempted to help each industry “set codes for wages, hours of work, levels of production, and prices of finished goods. But such complexity of the program was declared by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional as exemplified in Schechter v. US. Also, some of the unsuccessful programs enforced by Roosevelt were unnecessary. For example, the Court Packing, which would allow Roosevelt to give court jobs to people for each person that was 70.5 and above, was not needed for there was enough people on the seats.
In response to kobe17, I do agree with the fact that the most of the New Deal Programs that were enforced helped stabilize America’s economy and the lives of its citizens. It is evident that such programs, especially the PWA, helped put thousands of Americans “back to work” as kobe17 asserts.
In response to brownie-pants, I disagree with the fact that he/she states that the New Deal program still left America “in a very bad shape”. Even though there was little change in the improvement of the economy and the lives of millions of Americans, we still have to acknowledge the fact the Roosevelt’s New Deal Programs helped bring about a novel start. His programs were more effective than Hoover’s ideals. Likewise, although little improvement was made, we still have to acknowledge the fact that Roosevelt helped arouse a change in America.

Success of the New Deal
America needed change following the Great Depression and FDR delievered. With programs such as the Social Security Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act, FDR successfully initiated reforms that were ahead of its time. His Tennessee Valley Aauthority was a massive relief program that was successful.
Failure of New Deal Reforms
The New Deal exhibited a rise in the power of the executive branch of the government. He challenged the Supreme Court and the Constitution on many occasions. His Judicial Reorganization Bill made him lose supporters, and appear to be making contridictions.

Sucess of the "New Deal"
The New Deal/ Alphabet Soup were programs meant to help solve many problems caused by the Great Depression. Roosevelt tried to relieve the people, creating jobs, providing housing, and stabablizing the economy. Roosevelt tried the three r's : reform, recover, and relief. In many ways it was somewhat successful but was short lived, but still entact today are the Social Security Act, Federal Deposit Insurance Commision, and Securities and Exchange Commission.
Failures of the "New Deal"
I am aware of Roosevelt's attempt to reform, relieve, and recover the country and it's people. But incidently it pushed us into a deeper if possible, depression. Most efforts were short lived, and said to be "unconstitutional" by the Supreme Court. One act only pacified the problem and caused short term relief for about 6 months. Another act had farmers in debt up to their eyes, and no possible way to repay the debt.
*I agree with lakers_117 ,the next black billionaire , gio1022, noshan nerw....etc. Destroying the crops to raise prices was somewhat ridiculous especially during the depression, there were plenty of " hungry people" who would of enjoyed it. (AAA) was a failure.
*I disagree with brownie pants, and agree with man'o'steel president FDR had a "brain trust" who counseled and advised him, even if he was "drunk" he had help with the decisions and choices of his actions.

Success:
When Roosevelt became president in 1933, his main goals were to provide immediate relief to the nations economy. In this sense, Roosevelt's "new Deal" was a success. His public works administration helped provide some much needed jobs. the social security act provided money to those who could not work due to an injury or disability.
Failure:
Although the "New Deal" was successful in the short-term it failed to set up any successful long-term goals to improve the economy. Even the thought of the AAA and how it destroyed crops sounds stupid to me. Also, about half of Roosevelt's new deal policies were deemed unconstitutional including the NRA.

5. Civilian Conservation Corps
The overall success of the New Deal relied on F.D.R.'s strong ambitions to restore the nation back to it's prosperity. His motivation and his wife's counseling allowed for him to pass many laws. But that was also due to the fact that Congress was flexible on F.D.R.'s deals. As for the effects of these legislation, they helped rebuild the nation and helped the middle class and working class immensely.
However, even though Congress passed most of what F.D.R. asked for, many of them were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The majority of these legislation had many conflicting views and gave the government far too much power. All in all, the Great Depression did not end and required another war to dig the United States out of the depression.
I agree with Hend on the subject that the New Deal was wasteful. F.D.R. was still the most successful president in the country and passed many laws, but a lot of them just didn't seem like a great idea in the first place.
I disagree with lakers_117 on his belief that the three R's was a success. Relief, Recovery, and Reform did not complete its promise. F.D.R. did provide for relief and some recovery, but the majority of the laws passed for recovery and reform only raised eyebrows and regarded unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

The New Deal was successful to the extent that it improved the federal government’s role in economic affairs. Though the New Deal was not radical, it made many programs designed for relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal set forth many plans to fix the banking system, provide for jobs while fixing up nature (CCC), and provided for welfare (Social Security Act). Unemployment was rapidly reduced. For example, around 3 million young men under the age of 25 were provided their first experience of work by the CCC.
Least successful programs
1. National Recovery Administration (NRA)
2. Agricultural Recovery (AAA)
3. Business Recovery (NRA)
4. Rural Electrification Administration (REA)
5. Court Packing
Though the New Deal was a success, it also proved to be a failure for many reasons. It was a failure as it protected the trusts more than the American people. The poorer got poorer and the trusts got richer. An example of this was the Agricultural Recovery where farmers were paid to reduce crop area. Its purpose was to reduce crop surplus so that it would be able to raise the value of crops. This proved to be unsuccessful because of the depression and was unconstitutional. Programs like these that were thought to help the economy and the people would have backfired and led them into a much deeper depression.
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal plan held many promises in it, that were put into action between 1933 and 1938 as a result of the stock market crash of the 1920's which led the world in to The Great Depression. Roosevelt’s plan was said to bring about relief, reform, and recovery to the American people and economy and while it did have some successes the New Deal saw many defeats and failures. Some of the few successes of the New Deal were organizations such as;

I agree with hend that the New Deal made the people more reliable on the government, giving them the lack of confidence to decide what would be best for them. Though the reliance on the government would have given them some guidance to get themselves out of the trouble, too much of it would have made the government too powerful.
I also agree with mar that the PWA was a necessary program that helped reduced the rate of unemployment. Moreover, the increase of public works helped stabilize purchasing power and improve public welfare that contributed to the revival of the American industry.

The New Deal, or alphabet soup due to the many acronyms, did not take effect immediately but over time America’s economy and its people slowly began to prosper again, with the help of these programs. These programs administered aid to the American people in order for them to rebuild what the crash had ruthlessly taken from them. Some programs offered work while others offered financial aid and other beneficial things. A few of theses programs still exist today and under their original names, FDIC, FHA, TVA, showing that they were truly a success. The largest programs still in existence today are Social Security and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the primary regulator of publicly traded U.S. firms, not only did the New Deal represent America rising from the ashes, it represented a shift in political and domestic policy in the U.S.
Although the New Deal had a few successes there were a multitude of failures. The New Deal was claimed, by it’s opponents, to be costly and an increase in the federal governments power and by 1934 the United States Supreme Court began declaring significant parts of the New Deal unconstitutional. The programs were then quickly fixed in order to pass muster, but Roosevelt, in order to stop the Supreme Court, proposed adding five new court justices. Not only were some declared unconstitutional but the NRA was found to be illegal and between 1937 and 1938 the depression actually grew worse due to the low amounts of jobs and the United States competeing with the increasing tariffs on U.S goods in forgein countries. Ultimately the New Deal had an effective plan to relieve the nation of the depression but it fell short of it’s goal, it wouldn’t be until the U.S’s entry in to World War Two that the employment rates would go up and the American economy would boom once again.
I agree with Marcus (Hi Marcus lol) when he says that the PWA, SEC, Social Security, TVA, and WPA are the "most successful because they instituted employment and bettering the economy after the depression." I also want to add that many of these programs were not only successful during the Great Depression, but still successful today. Social Security, for example is still in effect today. It helps, not only the retired, but unemployed, disabled, and much more.

Success of the New Deal:
in Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign for president in 1932, he offered some ideas for programs that would be put into effect to help boost the economy. Although he did not have a detailed plan of action, he was willing to do everything in his power to end the depression and solve the economic problems. Some of these programs were the public works administration, the Social Security Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Also, his New Deal programs would serve the Three R's: reform, relief, and recovery.
Failure of the New Deal:
Some of Roosevelt's programs didn't do so well and can be deemed as failures. Two of them were the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) and the National Recovery Administration (NRA). They were both declared unconstitutional in a 1935 Supreme Court decision. Also, those who became employed again through New Deal programs quickly lost their jobs afterwards.
I disagree with the next black billionaire when he/she stated that they think "some President got a hold of some alcohol and probably just wrote whatever he thought was plausible." I believe that Roosevelt was honestly trying to do his best to help the nation to come out of the depression and these programs were his way of doing that.
I agree with everyone that said the AAA was a failure and a bad idea for America. Even with the help of programs such as the WPA, there were still people who were unemployed and starving and here we were destroying crops just to raise prices. They should have given the surplus crops and food to soup kitchens of to shelters or something. That would have been way more useful and resourceful.

Success of the New Deal
There were many successes to the New Deal created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He created programs that followed through with the three R's: relief, recovery, and reform. Many of the programs gave jobs back to the unemployed and secured stability in their money, housing, as well as other necessities that had once been lost.
Failure of the New Deal
Though there were the many successes the New Deal had, it came along with the failures as well. A couple of the programs that were created extended a great deal of power to the federal government while others brought much controversy. Some even led to the backwards movement of specific groups, such as farmers, instead of the steady progression everyone else was led to. Others were even declared unconstitutional.
I disagree with Christine when she states that the CCC "proved to be the most popular of the New Deal alphabet soup agencies".In about 1940, the CCC lost its importance. Although it did aid the country in restoration of forests after the drastic Dust Bowl, it didn't prove essential for the long run. It mayyyy be credited as a success, but compared to the PWA, WPA, and others, its really not that great.
i agree with flo<3 on the statement made about the civilian conservation corps being in the least successful. It provided jobs to the unemployed and it allowed for them to make a living at the time being, which was what was necessary for all to achieve, especially in a time of crisis such as the Great Depression.
i also agree with mikeb about the rise of the federal government through Roosevelt's administration. Although it was necessary for him to create the New Deal in order to bring the country back from further depression, his policies did go past the borderline. His challenges to the Constitution and the Supreme Court did put him in danger.

The New Deal was an overall success because it helped the nation to recover in many ways from the Great Depression. Frankin Roosevelt's programs such as the PWA and WPA helped numerous people to become employed by providing jobs in public construction funded by the federal government. The Socila Security Act was also a success because it is a program that still exists to this day and at the time that it was created it helped the elderly.
The New Deal would also be considered a failure due to the NRA and the AAA being deemed unconstitutional. The AAA had food destroyed when it could have been used to feed the many homeless people. It also only provided temporary jobs for the unemployed.
I agree with kobe17 saying that the food that was being destroyed by the AAA should have been used to feed the homeless. I also agree with mikeb saying that FDR established recovery programs that were way ahead of its time.

The Success of The New Deal:
Franklin D. Roosevelt's main reason for creating the New Deal was to help America to get through the Great Depression. He did this by passing during his administration which are still around today. These programs include the Social Security Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission. The others helped our nation through the depression, until WWII started. These deals mostly helped the laborers of the time period.
The Wagner Act guarenteed a worker's right to join a union and a union's right to bargain collectively. The Fair Labor Standards Act decided a minimum wage and a maximum workweek for laborers.
The Failures of The New Deal:
With many programs of the New Deal were successful there were still ones that didn't get really help the Americans. There were still emloyees that still became unemployed in short period of time. So, when the programs were trying to help laborers, there were still parts that didnt help them in any way.
I agree with gio1022 because the New Deal programs did not help the African Americans or the women of the time.

Summarizing the sucess of the New Deal
President Roosevelt went into office in 1933 and had many ideas to end the depression. The New Deal helped many unemployed people and also helped their families too. It also allowed money to be used by the states and local governments. The New Deal was supposed to help the people but did not always get them a job or fix all the problems that were occuring. Each program had a different thing that it was trying to fix.
Summarizing the failure of the New Deal
The New Deal was a waste of time. Only because it was supposed to fix the problems, but in some cases made them worse. The depression only got worse and more people were scared. Also some of them were thought as unconstitional to the people, so many did not know what to believe. The New Deal did help in some ways, but if Roosevelt thought of how the people would react maybe it would have been more successful.
I agree with flo<3 when they stated that the President had to step in and help his country and that he did that by achieving the three R's. Which are relief, recovery, and reform.
I also agree with the next black billionaire with saying that AAA was unsuccessful and pretty much unnessary. This is because people should have been worrying more about fixing problems with the depression rather than destruction of crops.
I agree with righteousprofet about FDR's plans being an overall success, however, I disagree when they say that his plan's were VERY successful because some policies that FDR made in response to the depression did nothing but sink the US into an even greater state of depression.
I also agree with JayAguilar86 about everything.

Successful New Deal:
During an era when the economy was deprived, morale was low, and unemployment rates were high, Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Plan"
offered a solution to America's crisis. When creating the "New Deal", Roosevelt focused primarily on the three R's to solve the nation's problems; RELIEF for people out of work, RECOVERY for business and the economy, and REFORM for the economic institutions of America. The "New Deal" offered millions of unemployed Americans jobs and helped reconstruct the nation. The program did help stimulate the economy and provided regulations in which the industry has to follow when it comes to labor.
Unsuccessful "New Deal"
Although the "New Deal" did manage to solve a couple of problems, the improvements were not immediate and many problems still remained. Many of "alphabet soup" laws and agencies were also found to be unconstitutional. The program still limited the prosperity in which women and minorities such as African Americans and Mexican Americans can have, even to the point where there is no effort into assisting minorities getting their jobs back until head of the Railroads Porters Union, A. Philip Randolph, threated Roosevelt with a march if equal job opprotunities were not granted to African Americans. Some programs can be viewed as problems themselves. For example, the AAA was unnescessarily wasteful of the nation's agricultural goods since an adivisor postulated that the economy would spurr up by reducing the number of products available in the market (and by reducing, he means throwing the food away.). Overall the "New Deal" seemingly can solve the nation's problems yet it still leaves many problems unfixed

Although the New Deal consisted of some programs that were successful, it was also a failure in that some programs, such as the National Recovery Administration, was deemed unconstitutional. Millions of dollars were spent on these reform programs, many that were failures, contributing to the ongoing Great Depression.
hend
I agree that "the New Deal was allegedly wasteful, incompetent, and contradictory." It wasted millions of dollars on reform programs, most of which were failures and were claimed unconstitutional.
brownie-pants
I agree that although many of the reform programs did find jobs for Americans, the jobs did not last very long, putting Americans back into the same positions they were in before, thus "creating a cycle which did not help America in any way."

although, it is still pretty hard to believe that there was not as much action ideally taken out for women and minorities since Roosevelt's Brain Trust, or advisers, consists of a huge diversity of people of different genders, race, religion, and background.
I would have to agree on everybody about how unnecessary the AAA descision to fix the farmer's economy. There are plenty of ways to get rid of food supply without simply just throwing it away, besides this was during the Great Depression, where America was subject to a great deal of poverty and hunger.

The United States government has never been as pro-actively involved as during the New Deal. President Hoover as well as the majority of the nation believed the stock market crash of October 1929 was just a dip in the economy. However, by the end of Hoover's term as president the downfall had not recovered yet and the public realized much effort must be made to recover. Franklin D. Roosevelt offered recovery through programs that gave relief for people out of work, recovery for business and the economy as a whole, and reform of American economic institutions. The First Hundred Days marked the legislation of numerous acts to end the Great Depression. Congress feared by even a greater depression allowed Roosevelt's programs to pass through flawlessly. The majority of the programs proved to be effective for both the public and economy.
A few of the New Deal programs stuck out as being unsuccessful. Many of the programs were mainly aimed to help farmers. Even with assistance from government subsidies and loans, farmers were unable to recover from the Great Depression due to the drought in the Great Plains known as the "Dust Bowl." Other programs were targeted for big industry by setting codes for wages, hours of work, levels of production, and prices of finished goods. Congress had willingly passed such acts without second thought during the First Hundred Days. Because of the creation of checks and balances, the Supreme Court stepped in and declared the National Recovery Administration and Agricultural Adjustment Administration unconstitutional. Although the programs were aimed to help the United States as a whole, the Supreme Court was obligated to intervene.
Christine, I never thought Social Security can provide cushioning for future depressions. Good thinking!
CJ, I agree a good outcome of the New Deal was increased involvement of government in economic issues.
successfull:
1.PWA
2. SEC
3. Social Security
4. TVA
5.WPA
FAILURES
1. AAA
2. CCC
3. NRA
4. Farm Credit Administration
5. Farm Securities Act
Things like PWA and TVA were successful because people liked that they helped reform cities and gave people jobs. Social Security was successful because people were paid money when they turned 65. The WPA was liked because it gave people jobs.the SEC worked because it regulates the stock-market in hopes that it wont crash again.
the CCC didn't work becaus eth epeople were on fixed incomes.The NRA didn't work because it set codes for wages and mainly helped steel,oil,and paper. The AAA failed because it encouraged farmers to redouce production and it was declared unconstitutional.

10 most successful
1.Social Security
2.PWA
3.TVA
4.WPA
5.SEC
6.FHA
7.Wagner Act
8.CCC
9.Fair Labor Standards Act
10.HOLC
These were all sucessful as each helped out with one of the three r's. Not only did they help it, they helped effectivly allowing for the government to begin to return to normal. They helped in the economic area to help be sure of the depression never reoccurring, the social point of making place better and more affordable, as well as finding people more jobs to decrease unemployment
Failure
1.AAA
2.NRA
3.NIRA
4.Farm Securities Act
5.Resettlement Administration
These were all failures becuaser they didnt exactly state what they were doing. The ones that did helped for a time but then were ruled unconstitutional such as the NIRA and the AAA. They were helping the people but they were helping in the wrong ways.
