Ann, compassion and empathy are the most important traits I look for in any politician. After FDR's new deal we had the largest middle class ever and the 1950's were a time of great prosperity and peace becasue of the new deal: Wikipedia: "The New Deal was the title that President Franklin Roosevelt gave to a sequence of programs and promises he initiated between 1933 and 1938 with the goal of giving relief to the poor, reform of the financial system, and recovery of the economy during the Great Depression. The "First New Deal" of 1933 aimed at short-term recovery programs for all groups. Based on the assumption that the federal government could solve the financial problems, the Roosevelt administration promoted or implemented: banking reform laws, emergency relief programs, work relief programs, and agricultural programs. A "Second New Deal" (1935–36) was a more comprehensive redistribution of power and resources; which included: union protection programs, the Social Security Act, and programs to aid tenant farmers and migrant workers. The Supreme Court ruled several programs unconstitutional; however, some parts of these were soon replaced, with the exception of the National Recovery Administration). Several New Deal programs remain active with some still operating under the original names, including the: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The largest programs still in existence today are the Social Security System and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
