Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@sangwoomichaelpark7434 says : The American Presidents Ranked by Performance Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to attempt on a large scale to alleviate poverty in the United States. He unleashed the full powers of the federal government to combat the depression. When he took office thousands of unemployed workers were standing in bread lines to get food for their families, many farmers and city workers had lost their homes; more were about to lose them because they could not make their mortgage payments; banks were failing by the thousands. Roosevelt immediately declared a bank holiday, while government officials inspected their books. Banks found to be in good condition were allowed to reopen and supplied with money by the treasury. The president called a special session of Congress and proposed bills for congressional approval. Among the many important programs established were the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Works Progress Administration, Social Security, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many more New Deal programs were aimed at relieving suffering from the depression and stimulating the economy to bring about recovery. Although full recovery did not come until wartime, all future presidents must try to emulate Rooevelt's efforts. Despite campaigning on a platform of reducing expenditures and balancing the budget, Roosevelt quickly found out that federal "pump priming" was the best way to stimulate the economy. When he backed away from spending in 1937, a recession occurred, so he again used fiscal policies to stimulate the economy. During the war he instituted price controls, rent controls, and other fiscal measures to prevent inflation from getting out of hand. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935, giving labor the right to organize and bargain collectively, was passed without administration support, as Roosevelt thought the National Recovery Administration made it unnecessary. Only after the Senate passed the bill did Roosevelt endorse it. Roosevelt thought that sitdown strikes were illegal, but refused to use federal troops to remove strikers from the General Motors plants. In 1938 Roosevelt became interested in reviving the anti-trust laws and anti-monopolistic regulations that had been dormant for some time. He appointed Thurman Arnold as assistant attorney general in charge of anti-trust activities. Congress authorized a National Economic Committee to investigate monopolies. The Agricultural Adjustment Act was a comprehensive plan for the rehabilitation of agriculture. It was declared unconstitutional in 1936, and passed again with revisions in 1938 as a soil conservation measure, with acreage allotments, benefit payments, storage loans for surpluses, and marketing quotas. The Frazier-Lemke Moratorium Act of 1935 prohibited creditors from holding foreclosure sales for a period of five years, provided that the farmers involved could make reasonable payments on their mortgaged property. When this law was declared unconstitutional, it was passed again with minor changes and withstood court scrutiny. The Tennessee Valley Authority was authorized to construct dams for flood control and for the generation and distribution of electricity. It also was authorized to develop new forms of fertilizer and to take such other steps as it saw fit to promote the agricultural and industrial development of the region. Although the rural electrification program was the best known product of TVA, the agency also made great contributions in the areas of erosion control, expansion of commercial navigation, and creation of recreational facilities. It also cooperated with local authorities in providing public health services, experimented with low-cost housing for the benefit of its employees, and made other contributions to the general welfare. Roosevelt utilized the progressive income tax not only on individuals, but also on corporations. No president has done more to shift the burden of taxation to those most able to pay. Perhaps the most revolutionary of all the New Deal programs was social security, which provides old-age annuities, unemployment insurance, and more adequate care for the poor, the dependent, and the disabled. He issued an executive order banning discrimination in defense industries and in government because of race, creed, color, or national origin. He created the Fair Employment Practices Commission and appointed qualified persons to office, regardless of gender or religion. He appointed Frances Perkins as secretary of labor, the first female cabinet member in the history of the United States. His Four Freedoms speech was an inspirational statement for civil liberties and human rights. There were two blots on Roosevelt's record, however. He interred Americans of Japanese ancestry in concentration camps during the war, and he did not try very hard to admit Jewish refugees to the United States. It was not until 1944 that he agreed to take Jews in excess of the quota. Perhaps more than any previous president, Roosevelt used the power of the presidency to promote the general welfare of all of the people. Abraham Lincoln and his successor, Andrew Johnson, are tied for second in the Domestic Programs area. Harry Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson are tied for fifth, and Woodrow Wilson ranks sixth.>> <<@sangwoomichaelpark7434 says : The American Presidents Ranked by Performance Criteria and Evaluation Area of President 5.
