Question

WHy did Liberals attack FDR's plans?

Answer 1

New Deal. In the 1930s, liberalism came to describe a pragmatic ideology that called for a moderate amount of government regulation of the economy, progressive taxation, and increased power of the federal government in relation to the states.

Answer 2

Conservatives commonly viewed New Deal reforms as an unlawful hindrance to a capitalistic free-market economy and criticized Franklin Delano Roosevelt for overstepping his presidential authority. Liberals often supported New Deal values, but criticized the programs for failing to provide adequate relief for impoverished citizens.
