Woody Guthrie's America: The Great Depression and the New Deal I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts All around me a voice was a-sounding This land was made for you and me There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me Sign was painted, said "Private Property" But on the back side, it didn't say nothing This land was made for you and me. When the sun come shining as I was strolling The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me Alternate verse: In the squares of the city In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office I see my people And some are grumbl ...

Excerpt: ... is from the New Deal , which was established by Franklin D. Roosevelt in two sections in the 1930s. The New Deal established the FDIC, Securities and Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and many other pieces of legislation that established the government as being more proactive and paternalistic. Also, Federal government budget deficits were, before the New Deal , simply a wartime phenomena. After the New Deal , and even now, deficit spending is commonplace. Recall that from 1929-1933, unemployment increased from less than 4% to almost 25% and real output decreased by 27%. Roosevelt campaigned with a New Deal in 1932, which, though rather vague, envisioned an expanded role for the federal government.

Excerpt: ... Did the New Deal save liberal democracy in the United States? Paul Conkin once wrote that "the story of the New Deal is a sad story, the ever recurring story of what might have been"1. Yet whilst his views are synonymous with many on the New Left, others see the New Deal broadly as a success, having pulled the USA out of the Great Depression and provided the country with reforms still evident today. So what effect did Roosevelt and his New Deal policies have on liberal democracy? The question depends entirely on ones definition of liberal democracy. Nowadays, the term liberal is used pejoratively in the United States, to the point where those people of what the British might call a liberal disposition choose instead to label themselves as "progressives", as Hillary Clinton was forced to do for example in last weeks Democratic leadership debate. However, the liberal democracy sought by FDR was based more upon the ideas associated with T.H.Green and nowadays Isaiah Berlin and the concept of modern liberalism, e ...
