Explain one specific program from the New Deal that you would like to modernize and bring to today's society. Explain which one you picked, what this program originally did during the New Deal, why you picked it and exactly how you see it working in present-day and/or future American society. You may use the New Deal program as it is, revise or alter it to make it fit modern life or use it as a basis for something new.
The program that I chose was the Civil works administration. The civil works administration was a program that was created on November 8,1933 by Franklin D Roosevelt. The way this worked was they would give jobs to people for construction howveer this ended because after costing $200 million a month. So much was spent on this administration because it hired 4 million people and was mostly concerned with paying high wages. It ended in 1934 in large part due to opposition to its cost. The significance of this was that it created 255,000 miles of roads, 40,000 schools, etc. Opposing views would argue that even though it helped people by giving them jobs the cost was just too much so it wasn't worth it. How much was it? It costed $400,000,000.
I picked this because right now America is somewhat in a economic crisis and there are several people without jobs right now. I would alter this by making sure it doesn't cost so much money that's the last thing America needs. So perhaps field workers could be jobs for people because it is needed and it couldn't cost that much and that job would be better than having no job at all.
