Now, the new president, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, has a plan to get the economy going restarted and to put people back to work called the New Deal. This plan is making people pay for these programs though taxes, which is making the wealthy and big businesses angry because Roosevelt wants to raise taxes to pay for the New Deal. These people are starting to hate him for this, but to me, a supporter of the New Deal, it's a good idea because I believe this is going to restart the economy. Roosevelt is using the radio to assure the American people that he is doing everything possible to provide relief, recovery, and reform. He is also using his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, who has become his eyes and ear, to help him understand a little bit more what the people want and need. I listen to his fireside chats all the time and I believe he is going to make a change and get us all out of this mess.
