The New Deal had a great legacy. It created a safety net. Towards the government many people felt it was their job for the new deal. It increased the governments power and increased the role of helping the poor. With the 10 years of the Great Depression the New Deal did not end the depression. Unemployment was still high and gave sense of security. The Great Depression wasn't better untilafter World War Two. Federal Government gained power to control production, consumption and mediate between workers and bosses.
