Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Democrats decided that they should try Keynsian economics. That meant that the government was urged to spend money on projects that would create jobs. FDR was very careful about the projects he picked: They were expensive, but they had long lasting benefits.

That's not the same as what is happening today. FDR did not go crazy spending money. He did not try to make government a Nanny for everyone. He tried to get the economy going so that people could be able to take care of themselves.
