Jan 28-Today we continued on with the New Deal. We went over some of the things that the New Deal actually did. This included some of his programs that provided jobs to Americans. We watched a clip on the CCC and how they were just an example of the millions of jobs invented by the government at the time.
Jan 29-Mr Whitman today just looked at if the New Deal was effective. There were a lot of pro's and some con's but at the end of the day at least FDR was trying.
Jan 30-We finished up Unit 5. The main things we looked at in class were the problems of the New Deal. The main ideas were it cost a lot, it put America into debt, it caused insanely high taxes, the President stretched the rules of the presidency to do what he wanted, and at the end of the day it didn't fully work. We finished by looking at Social Security.
Jan 31-We took our test for unit 5
