The New Deal of FDR got the federal government involved in the daily lives of citizens like never before. Governmental programs were set up that effected citizens in all areas of the nation. For these programs to function, the government went deeper and deeper into debt as the cost of the programs often exceeded the incoming revenue to pay for them. By the end of the New Deal, Americans were becoming used to government in their daily lives. LBJ was a big supporter of FDR and the New Deal and wanted to be remembered as the President who completed what the New Deal started. The War on Poverty, VISTA, the continuation of The Peace Corps, civil rights legislation, educational funding, and Medicare were all examples of the Great Society in action.
