It was a series of domestic programs (from about 1933 to 1939) that were implemented during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration to combat the devastating effects of the Great Depression on the US economy and society. The New deal revitalized the US economy through enormous federally-funded series of infrastructure and improvement projects across America, creating jobs for workers and profits for businesses. In the short term, New deal programs helped improve the lives of people suffering from the events of the depression. In the long run, New Deal programs set a precedent for the federal government to play a key role in the economic and social affairs of the nation. Programs included the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA), and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to name a few.
