3. New Deal = programs to provide immediate Relief ($), stimulate Recovery (jobs), and economic Reform (to prevent future problems) a. b. Fireside Chats – inspirational / uplifting speeches on the radio Eleanor went on tours to promote her husband’s programs

Purposes of the New Deal • Relief: to provide jobs for the unemployed and to protect farmers from foreclosure • Recovery: to get the economy back into high gear, “priming the pump” • Reform: To regulate banks, to abolish child labor, and to conserve farm lands • Overall objective: to save capitalism
