S. GDP declined 27% from 1929 to 1932 and industrial production dropped 46% (Aiginger, 2010)
However, other aspects of the New Deal have been criticized for slowing the pace of recovery. In particular, the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, which featured price setting, wage setting was noted for its poor impacts, which included providing disincentive for firms to hire and increased costs for consumer goods (Bandyk, 2008)
Reagan's economic platform aimed to restore a balanced budget and bring down the size of government. His platform contained four key principles: lower taxes, control of spending, reduction of regulation and lowering inflation (Brokaw & Thompson, 2004)
Monetary expansion by the Fed increased liquidity and created a strong investment climate. While unemployment remained high, many other economic indicators recovered under the New Deal, even if not directly attributable to New Deal policies (Cole & Ohanian, 2009)
GDP declined 27% from 1929 to 1932 and industrial production dropped 46% (Aiginger, 2010). Gross domestic investment dropped from $16 billion to $1 billion and stocks declined to just 15% of their peak value (Edsforth, 2000)
Social security taxes increased as well, delivering a net increase in taxes. Overall, Reagan failed to implement effectively most of his own economic platform (Rothbard, 2004)

Although passed so long ago, it still stands as viable legislation today. In the modern context, the law limits the amount of gold available to public hands Reserve had to be handed over to the United States Department of the Treasury (Hoizer 1)
It initially insured deposits of only up to $2,500, although that number has greatly increased since the early days of the FDIC ("New Deal" 1). However, this amount has increased dramatically, based on the nature of changing monetary amounts (McMahan 1)
To assess the influence of Share Our Wealth, we analyze a secret poll undertaken by the Roosevelt Administration. The historical and quantitative analyses indicate that Share Our Wealth achieved partial success in ways that support the political mediation theory (Amenta, Dunleavy and Bernstein 1994, 698-699)
Certainly in this author's opinion, it is logical to assume that FDR "got his legs" so to speak in his earlier battles with Long and Coughlin. The Long and Coughlin experiences likely provided a blueprint for the later duel with Pelley (Beekman 2006, vi-iv)
The support was not limited to states of the South. For example, the DNC poll showed Long in Massachusetts getting more than 13% of the vote (Brinkley 1983, 284-286)
The Long and Coughlin experiences likely provided a blueprint for the later duel with Pelley (Beekman 2006, vi-iv). Despite various programs administered by FDR's administration, the Depression slump stubbornly persisted every year thereafter until the beginning of World War II provided jobs for millions of unemployed Americans and completely ended the Great Depression (Guisepi 2001)
After this work had been completed, there was nothing more for them to do. As a result, many left the land and moved to the ghettos of the cities where they faced similar poverty (Farmers and the New Deal, p
561, 572). There had been a bewildering, incoherent mass of new expenditures, taxes, subsidies, regulations and direct government participation in productive activities that resulted in much confusion, fear, uncertainty and hostility among businessmen and investors that private investment, and hence overall private economic activity, never recovered enough to restore the high levels of production and employment in the pre-depression years (Higgs, R

Fourth, many programs implemented to improve the economic situation of poor agricultural America resulted in counterproductive effects. In an attempt to bring relief, the New Deal set up numerous programs such as the Resettlement Administration (RA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the rural Electrification Administration (REA), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and rural welfare projects, including school lunches, building new schools, opening roads in remote areas, reforestation, and purchase of marginal lands to enlarge national forests (New Deal, p
And in those days, there was no unemployment insurance, no Medicare, no Medicaid, no Social Security, no welfare." (Buchanan, 2009) According to Buchanan and others the New Deal was "economically…a bust, failing utterly to restore prosperity…" Buchanan considers "how Ronald Reagan responded to the economic crisis of 1980, the worst since the Depression
