- “Maintain the prosperity of

the country even if the

government has to deficit

spend to do it.”

- John Maynard Keynes

DEFICIT SPENDING (CONTINUED)

$ Keynes’ idea was to create jobs and start building, even if the U.S. had to borrow to do it.

$ Keynes believed that the answer was to PUMP MONEY INTO THE ECONOMY

$ If there is not enough money in the economy, pump money into it and that will keep it moving

New Deal Segregation

• In the south, there were separate groups of farmers

• There were black sharecroppers and white farmers

• FDR did not do anything for the sharecroppers. He did not attempt to end segregation.

• FDR did not want to isolate the southern Democrats

NEW DEAL (HELP)

• Organized labor, collective bargaining (all came about because of New Deal programs)

• Wagner Organized Labor Act

• Legal recognition of unions

• This led to the Fair Labor Standards Act
