Second New Deal The Second New Deal was launched in 1935 by Roosevelt.

Harry Hopkins “now or never”

The idea that lack of consumer demand caused Depression had been popularized by Huey Long, Francis Townsend, and the CIO.

New Dealers had concluded that the government shouldn't try to plan business recovery.

Huey Long’s Share Our Wealth Campaign created the Rural Electrification Agency to bring electricity to homes that lacked it.

The REA came out to be one of the most successful programs led by The Second New Deal.

The Second New Deal also tried to promote soil conservation and family farming.

Because of it, farmers received federal government also purchased significant amounts of marginal and eroded land and converted these areas from farms into national grasslands and parks.

In the long run, The Second New Deal failed to arrest the trend toward larger farms and fewer farms

WPA and the Wagner Act

Roosevelt approved the establishment of Works Progress Administration Because of Harry Hopkins the physical aspect had changed.

WPA employed many out of work white collar workers and professionals, even doctors and dentists.

Because of the WPA audiences across the country enjoyed their first glimpse of live musical and theatrical performances and their relief to American teenagers and young adults.

Another major initiative of the Second New Deal, the Wagner Act, was known as the “Labor’s Magna Carta”

Did that by empowering National Labor Relations Board to supervise elections in which employees voted on union representation

Robert Wagner promised the unionization and higher wages would aid economic recovery by boosting the purchasing power of ordinary Americans.

The American Welfare State

The centerpiece of the Second New Deal was the Social Security Act of 1935.

Created a system of unemployment insurance, old age pensions, and aid to disabled, elderly poor, and families with dependent children.

Social Security Act launched the American version of the welfare act.

Social Security System

Some New Dealers desired a program funded by the federal government's general tax revenues with a single set of eligibility standards administered by national officials.

Roosevelt preferred to fund Social Security by taxes on employers and workers rather than out of general government revenues.

Because of that Social Security emerged as a hybrid of national and local funding, control and eligibility standards.

The states paid most of the cost of direct poor relief under the program call Aid to Dependent Children and eligibilities and the level of payments varied enormously from place to place.

Social Security represented a dramatic departure from the traditional function of government.

The Second New Deal transformed the relationship between the government and American citizens.
