Question

Although Roosevelt helped the nation's morale, his programs did little to pull the United States out of the Depression.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

FALSE

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected with a platform of measures to combat the Great Depression. it was he who created the New Deal, a set of measures covering agriculture, industry and the social area.

The New Deal was inspired by the ideas of economist John Keynes. There was concern about creating jobs for workers.

The government granted loans, increased wages, controlled prices, legalized the 8-hour work day and created social security. Therefore, the Roosevelt government gave a great response to the economy in the face of the Great Depression.

Answer 2

No, it is false that although Roosevelt helped the nation's morale, his programs did little to pull the United States out of the Depression, since in fact his New Deal policies did a great deal to "spur" the economy back to life.
