What are the similarities of the New Deal and the second New Deal?

Answer 1

President Johnson had been a very big supporter of FDR and wanted to go down in history as the president who completed what the New Deal started. He envisioned his "Great Society" as an America where there would be no hunger or massive unemployment. He favored education for all children, starting at the lowest level (Head Start programs) to help the children of both wealthy and poor parents. He also gave more attention to civil rights than had FDR. The programs of both presidents were similar in that they both attacked unemployment, reforming ills in society, and increase in government spending and activity in the everyday life of Americans.

Answer 2

The Second New Deal was similar to the First New Deal only in the amount of legislation passed by Congress or bills presented to the Congress between 1935 and 1938. The Second New Deal was much different than the First because the legislation passed created much more deficit spending, which was the belief of the economist Keynes. The idea was to increase government spending in order to stimulate the economy. It was clear that the First New Deal had not solved the economic problems and more federal relief was needed. About half of the Second New Deal measures dealt with long term reform, not immediate relief.
