| Resident Armed Liberal | Some of the things FDR's New Deal did Quote:
It established the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). This program fed my father and his parents, when they were literally starving to death after my grandfather went broke. Civil Works Administration (CWA). This public works program put four million people to work building or repairing roads, parks, airports, etc. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) This environmental program put 2.5 million unmarried men to work maintaining and restoring forests, beaches, and parks. Workers earned only $1 a day but received free board and job training. From 1934 to 1937, this program funded similar programs for 8,500 women. Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 This act ended the sale of tribal lands and restored ownership of unallocated lands to Native American groups. Public Works Association (PWA) The PWA launched projects such as the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. Federal Securities Act of May 1993/ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) This act required full disclosure of information on stocks being sold. The SEC regulated the stock market. Congress also gave the Federal Reserve Board the power to regulate the purchase of stock on margin. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) (May 1993) The TVA helped farmers and created jobs in one of America s least modernized areas. Reactivating a hydroelectric power plant provided cheap electric power, flood control, and recreational opportunities to the entire Tennessee River valley. Works Progress Administration (WPA) 1935-1943 This agency provided work for 8 million Americans. The WPA constructed or repaired schools, hospitals, airfields, etc. Farm Security Administration (FSA) The FSA loaned more than $1 billion to farmers and set up camps for migrant workers. National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) It legalized practices allowed only unevenly in the past, such as closed shops in which only union members can work and collective bargain. The act also set up the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to enforce its provisions Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 This banned child labor and set a minimum wage. Social Security Act This act established a system that provided old-age pensions for workers, survivors benefits for victims of industrial accidents, unemployment insurance, and aid for defendant mothers and children, the blind and physically disabled.

That doesn't even include the wars in the middle east. It's for FY 2007 and they don't include the war spending in it. I'm an independent and can't stand either party....but hasn't it been the republicans who have spent us back into a budget deficit, ballooned the national debt and squandered the budget surplus created by the previous administration in the very first budget it proposed? That's why so many republicans aren't Bush fans (although they prefer him over a democrat). His policies fly in the face of traditional conservative fiscal policy. And in order to keep those notorious tax cuts, the administration calls for cutting Medicare growth and....believe it or not....National Guard spending in that new budget. (Yes, the same National Guard that has been mobilized in record numbers for the wars in the Middle East and will be called up even more for Iran and who went to Iraq with Vietnam Era equipment and without proper armoring for themselves or their vehicles.) http://homelandsecurity.osu.edu/focu...medefense.html In Fiscal Year 2005, the U. S. Government spent $352 Billion of your money on interest payments to the holders of the National Debt (Which is 8.1 trillion now....it was about 1 trillion in 2001). For the current FY 06, we've already spent $153 billion on interest payments! Last year was the largest deficit in history and they don't even know how big FY 07 will be. Just some food for thought...
