FDR did a lot to kickstart the economy, Unfortunately many programs became entrenched into our government and outdid their usefulness.

At least one good project I believe is still around from that time period, the CCC.

Thanks for reminding us TSgt Joe C. that on April 8, 1935 President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized almost $5 million to implement work-relief programs. FDR created the Works Progress Administration through the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act.
While this helped the nation move beyond the Depression it created an unhealthy for many reliance on the Federal government.
