Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs result in the largest expansion of the federal bureaucracy since FDR's New Deal

because of the New Deal Coalition, Rreagans programs, The Great Society, and llastly critical elections

The New Deal introduced a bevy of social programs never imagined by former presidents. The catch was that the programs were opportunities to work, not to simply collect.

Lyndon Johnson was the one whose domestic programs were known as the Great Society package.

The government took on a greater role in the everyday social and economic lives of the people. As the federal government grew with new agencies and reform attempts, the cost of government increased. The growth of the government continued following the New Deal. Many of the new agencies created by the New Deal, and by future presidents, would increase the power of the Executive Branch. The Great Depression and the New Deal measures led to the domestic programs of JFK's New Frontier, and LBJ's Great Society and War on Poverty. The New Deal measures have also had an influence on the current Obama administration, in its attempts to stimulate the economy.
