6. FDR & New Deal FDR gets voted president and immediately regulates the banking system. (1 st New Deal)FDR sets up the NRA and the AAA to deal with economy. (2 nd New Deal) FDR sets up the Wagner Act, the WPA, and the Social Security Act to deal with social issues and relief. Coach Hair regulated the team’s defense. First, Coach Hair got the team in shape and ready for sub state. Second, Coach Hair made new plays to improve the offense.

7. Impact of New Deal The New Deal led to the successful relief of millions of unemployed and destitute citizens. Labor unions significantly grew as well as the overall quality of life. Disputes with the supreme court and the decision to cut spending for the WPA hurt the legacy of FDR and the New Deal. (Shift to Repubs) Win first sub state game against BVN.
