FDR and The New Deal Program FDR and The New Deal Program Franklin D. Roosevelt, thirty-second President of the United Sates, greatly expanded the role of the federal government with a wide-ranging economic and social program, the New Deal, designed to counter the Great Depression of the 1930s. He also led the nation through most of its participation in the global struggle of World War II. His New Deal established programs like the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Works Progress Administration, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. In his inaugural speech he spoke of a "New Deal" for America and thus the New Deal was born. As soon as Roosevelt took office, help was on the way as he created many programs to take the nation out of hard times. Roosevelt was determined to directly relieve the suffering of the American people. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration was established as a temporary program that would run on direct governmental aid to give the states large grants that were passed on as direct cash payments for needy families. It was short-lived because it stressed the importance of immediate relief rather than long-term recovery. new, programs, deal, relief, works, roosevelt, people, nation, administration, jobs, federal, emergency, created, america, work, thus, temporary, social, progress, program, lasting, just, great, give, gave, established, direct, designed, depression, because, world, within, wished, wide-ranging, way, war, voice, valley, united, took, today, times, time, through, thirty-second, tennessee, teaching, take, suffering, struggle
