I think the deal program that was most needed for the country to help rais spirits and the economy was the Works Progress
Administration since it gave over 8 million unemployed people jobs which tackled a large number of the unemployment rate in the
United States during the Great Depression and is what severly helped the US relive the depression at this time.

Which new deal program do you think was the worst idea listed from this sheet? Why?

I think that not one of these new deal programs was a bad idea since every idea contributed to the rise of our economy during this time
and helped get people jobs and sustain a livable life, all of these new deal programs helped US progress to what it is today, with
electricity everywhere and navigation being easy the new deal programs benefited the United States in many ways.
