What were "public works projects"? What famous ones were part of the New Deal? What public works projects would you recommend for our society today?
Public works projects were projects created by the Public Works Administration during the great depression. The purpose of these projects were to rebuild the economy and the nation.
Famous programs that were included in the New Deal included the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Association), RA (Resettlement Administration), Farm Security Administration (FSA), and the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority).
For our society today, I would recommend the Resettlement Administration. The program relocated those who could not afford to live in their houses and were relocated to communities funded and planned by the federal government. This is a smart idea, because one of the largest factors of the recession is bank reposession of people's houses, leaving many homeless. With the resettlement administration program, those who had been kicked out of their house could be resettled to a federal government community.
