Homework Blog #8

You have learned about the Great Depression and it's effects on American life during the 1930s. In your readings you have learned about programs such as the New Deal which helped to get us out of the depression. Currently America is facing a recession that is similarly hurting Americans and American businesses. FDR implemented ideas that changed our government into a Social Democracy. These ideas such as welfare and social security are still around and still help Americans out. My question to you is, what can we do to get us out of this recession? Should we bring back some more of the New Deal programs we had in the 30s? There is no quick fix for this problem but there are ideas out there that can aid in making our economy stable again. Give me your ideas and opinions.
