Chapter 1048 Roosevelt's New Deal

The economic crisis intensified, and the United States was hit hard. On the one hand, countless unemployed Americans have no money to buy food and other daily necessities, and can only barely survive under government relief. On the other hand, the agricultural products produced by major farms cannot be sold and can only be destroyed on the spot. On both sides of the Mississippi River, countless ranchers poured milk into the Mississippi River, dyeing the river white.

Those ranchers would rather dump all the milk than sell it at a low price to those who can't afford it. It can be seen how black-hearted capitalist businessmen are.

Of course, those ranchers have no choice. If they sell it at a low price, they can certainly sell that milk. But what will happen to prices after the economic crisis has passed? If the price is raised, it will definitely be resisted by the people. At that time, the loss will be even greater. Therefore, they prefer to keep the price at a high level, and dump what cannot be sold.

The United States, a powerful industrial country, is in a state of embarrassment under the blow of the economic crisis. And Herbert Hoover's government was even more powerless to deal with the economic crisis. Although the government has implemented many measures in an attempt to combat the economic crisis, it is of no use at all. This makes the American people feel even more disappointed with the government.

Hoover was also very unlucky. The outbreak of the economic crisis was not entirely due to him. His predecessors also have unshirkable responsibilities. It's just that he was out of luck. Who let this be his presidency?

Hoover was very aggrieved, but he had no choice but to take the blame.

This economic crisis has lasted for a long time, and it has passed for several years, but there is no sign of abating at all. Many Americans are about to despair of the economic crisis. This has led to an increase in the suicide rate in the United States in recent years.

It is the mess like this in the United States that provides a stage for another person with firm beliefs. He is the governor of New York State Franklin Roosevelt. In 1932, as the candidate of the Democratic Party, he began to participate in this general election. In order to win the support of voters, Roosevelt made a lot of efforts. In particular, the New Deal and reforms he proposed have revived the confidence of countless Americans in him, hoping that under his leadership, the United States can come out of the economic crisis and become stronger again.

Roosevelt defeated his opponent by a huge advantage and became the new president of the United States. After taking office, Roosevelt signed an order to implement the New Deal within the United States. At the same time, he abandoned the traditional laissez-faire liberalism, strengthened government intervention in the economic field, implemented deficit finance, and vigorously developed public utilities to stimulate the economy. In order to implement the New Deal, Roosevelt organized a group of liberal lawyers, experts, and scholars into a think tank to consult on policy issues; through "fireside chats", he kept close contact with the people and fought resolutely with the Supreme Court who opposed the New Deal. struggle and successfully restructured the Supreme Court.

I have to admit that Roosevelt is a very capable person. Under his leadership, the economic situation of the United States has gradually improved. However, it is very difficult to restore the United States to its heyday.

In 1934, Roosevelt had been president for a year, and the economic situation in the United States improved greatly. Although, the economic crisis is still going on, people's life is still very bad. However, after all, they are no longer as desperate as before. What the government has done has given them a glimmer of hope again. And this also made Roosevelt win the love of the American people.

However, Roosevelt himself did not dare to relax in the slightest. Because he knows that leading the United States out of the economic crisis is just the beginning. Next, he still has a lot to do if he wants to restore the United States to its heyday and even become stronger.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work in the past year. We can clearly see that our economy has improved!" Roosevelt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled.

Although, many measures in the New Deal are suspected of learning from Russia, which makes many people oppose this. But Roosevelt didn't care about that. As long as it can get the United States out of the crisis, that is a good way, no matter whether it is the BuRussian policy or not.

The cabinet ministers present at the meeting were all smiling. Indeed, although the United States has not completely emerged from the economic crisis, it has at least begun to improve. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the United States.

"Your Excellency, I think we can't be too optimistic now. If we want to revive our industry, we need a huge market. The domestic market is very bad now, and it is impossible to provide them with much help. And the foreign market , we still have to face the competition from the Germans. They have not suffered too much loss in this economic crisis. Even, they are still maintaining a high-speed growth." Secretary of Commerce Daniel said.

President Roosevelt nodded with a serious face. He knew all these things. And this is exactly where he has a headache.

"After the economic crisis began, the Germans sent people from our country to buy a large amount of machinery and equipment at extremely low prices. In addition, many scientists, engineers and skilled workers were recruited by the Germans. This is very important for our country. Industry, of course, is a huge blow," Labor Secretary Francis Francis said.

"The Germans are digging meat from us! The gap between us and Germany has become even bigger due to the ups and downs." Secretary of State Hull looked helpless.

Since Woodrow Wilson was president, the goal of the United States has been to surpass Germany and snatch the throne of world hegemony from under the Germans. However, it now appears that the gap between them and Germany has not narrowed, but continues to widen! This also makes them seem to be getting further and further away from their goals.

"In addition to the Germans, Bu Russia is also taking advantage of the fire. Their economic system has made them lose nothing in this economic crisis." Minister Daniel continued.

"Gentlemen, let's talk about it, what should we do next? We must find a way to further improve our economy. Only in this way can we restore the confidence of the people and let us The country is coming out of the economic crisis. As for the confrontation with Germany, it needs to be done slowly." Roosevelt said.
