Our family is homeless and we don’t have a job to support our family but the new deal that President Roosevelt presented to the American citizens. Roosevelt made programs that will hire people so we can get back to work and he says it will eventually bring the economy back up. One on the programs that hired James and Jonathan was the CCC or the Civilian Conservation Corps, which hired young men 18-25 to do public work. Another program that hired John was the WPA or the Works Progress Administration, which hired Construction workers to build public buildings. This was good for our family because we were making money and getting food to help feed our family. There was also the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and they gave food and some money out to help Americans get back on their feet like us. Although the New Deal seemed to help Americans I heard it was not that great because we were spending money we did not have and collecting money for reuse which wasn’t helping the economy much. In my opinion I thought the New Deal was helpful because it gave Americans jobs so we can get back to work and it gave us hope in the government that they will act to help out its citizens.

Due to the policies by the president, I
have been able to support my family. I fit the
age requirement for getting a government job via the CCC being part of the "new deal". The job I have is
a typical "chore" kind of
job, but it allows me to have an income that most
goes towards my family for. I have
a little change left over for spending on my
self, so I use it to buy day to day meals. It feels nice to be able to make an
income that I can
live off of.
My
brother was also
able to get a job similar to mine. We plan on trying to
improve our living conditions once we build up enough money. It's a bit of
a struggle,since
we have to take care of our basic needs first, but
it can happen. There were
also other parts of the "new
deal" that allowed more
people to become able to pay for their families. More
stores and banks started to open
up, as well and that is where my brother and I
were planning on placing our money because of the
FDIC guaranteeing us our money back if the bank
failed.

President Roosevelt
explained about the New Deal and how it will help us and the economy in the
United States. On that moment I felt that we finally have a leader that will
lead us to the rights direction. Roosevelt had create different programs that
aims at certain group in need. One of the program is called the Civilian
Conservation Corps or CCC for short. This program not only help me and my
brother, it also helped our parents as well. In the program me and my brother
work for the government by working in land owned by the government. As we work,
we get paid by the government, but with one condition we must be between 18-25
years old. Meeting with that, it means that me and my brother get shelter, food,
and clothing. This help my parents to worry less about us and to worry for them
self. Including that me and my brother have less worries about food, clothing,
and shelter, which led to us to worry about work. Also the money that me and my
brother worked for will also go to our parents for food, clothing, and shelter.
Although the money that they receive will not be enough, it is still good
amount of money to live by. As my brother and I are working in the CCC, my father found a
program called Civil Works Administration or CWA for short. This program helped my
dad to get a job and work on public places like the play grounds and buildings.
Also it paid my father money, so my mother and father are having good
amount of money to
live by. With out these programs, me, my
brother, and
father would be in far distances to look for a job. Now that New Deal is here,
it is helping us to get by this Great Depression.

Unlike Hoover FDR actually tried to help my family, and many others with the same problems
we all had. Poverty, hungry, homeless. As soon as he was in office he started working on
pursuing his promises of a better America by making programs that would kick start our
economy back up. First he closed all the banks. I was guessing he did this because they were
not qualified to keep money safe. But instead he announced for people to please put money
in banks instead in your mattress. He said this would help our economy and that he promises
it would be safe. I was sure a president would not lie to our faces about keeping money safe.
This program was called the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation or the FDIC.
This would insure our money was safe. This effected our economy by allowing the banks to give
loans and improve our economy. He not only did that but started the Federal emergency relief act
or FERA which was the president basically giving us unemployed homeless people money which was
amazing. Finally a president who is listening. He not only gave us hope but he even gave us jobs.
He offered my sons to work in the woods. This program was called the Civilian Conservative Corps
or CCC. My sons said it was an adventure and full of young men like them just cutting trees down cleaning
outdoors and planting new trees. Then he offered jobs to older men like me. Gave me a job through
the program called the Workers Progress Administration or WPA. This gave city jobs to
people like building schools, roads, parks etc. They had me build a hospital the other day and was quite a
lot of work but I am grateful to have it. This new program was called the New deal and their was many other
programs that helped even farmers. Also programs like the Social security act where young people pay a little toward older people retirement. Soon my sons will have to pay me for sitting on my butt at home haha. Although it at least did something to help it was quite a slow process.But having a president who actually tried in any way to get us out of the Depression would be better if a president who did nothing. Even though many programs helped in some ways to the Depression I feel the major change was the war who gave everyone jobs and paid everyone well.
