</div></div><span style="font-size: 11pt"> Yes you wrong. No such thing happened. The short of it was as usual the Republicans were in power when it started.

what they kept doing was to give tax break to businesses.
This was done on the unsupported theory that if you give money to businessmen they will employ people.

There is no theory nor evidence of this ever happening in history.
So when the new democratic president took power after everything crashed and the Repubs thre tons of tax break and it only got worse.

He rescinded the tax breaks since they were not doing the job of reviving the economy. He then followed economic principles of supply and demand.

He simply created government jobs, with the same money. Using the unemployed to develop the national park systems.

In the process the newly employed, use their income to buy goods, that drive the demand for factory workers to produce those goods, and the newly employed workers further spend their income creating more demand and revived the economy.

The new deal was not about reviving the economy, but an insurance system to make sure that if a major down turn ever happened in the economy, it will not be depression.

It is about the future. Th e new deal created unemployment insurance,and Social security.
So that if people lose their jobs because of no fault of their own, they don't have to be homeless.,
this covers social security too. The important point was that those 2 security blanket excluded blacks.
Since they were restricted to work in domestic,as office cleaners, in homes,es ,or on farms. Those areas, were exempted from benefits.
So at present, people who work as domestics and cleaners even in large corporations, or on farms does not get social security when they retire, or unemployment insurance if the lose their jobs.
If you notice they always as 'the non-farm jobs when discussing unemployment. </span>
