Question

During the 1930s

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the 1930s, the national debt doubled due to the New Deal programs, which required significant federal spending to stimulate the economy and provide relief to those affected by the Great Depression. Other choices are incorrect as President Roosevelt actually expanded the federal bureaucracy as part of the New Deal, the states did not regain influence over the economy, not all business people admired the New Deal programs, and while the New Deal did have some success in reducing the gap between production and consumption, this was not a significant outcome of the era.
