Franklin D. Roosevelt has faced many problems but he has overcome many of them. One big problem we are having right now is unemployment and Roosevelt has found ways to fix it. He is using many policies such as the CCC, which is providing jobs for more than 2 million young men, the FERA, which is granting federal funds and local agencies to help the unemployed, the CWA, which is providing jobs on public-works projects, and also the WPA, which is providing money to build schools, roads, bridges, and other public projects. The WPA is one of my favorite policies, because we get more schools for the children to get educated, roads and bridges for easier transportation, and we get to publicize our art so everyone can see what inspires us. A person that has gotten very famous because of her art talent is Dorothea Lange, a female photographer who is traveling the country capturing the effects of the Great Depression. I really like her work.
