The '''New Deal''' was the name coined by President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], a [[Democratic Party|Democrat]], for otherwise disjointed programs he conducted throughout the [[Great Depression]], especially from 1933-36. His program had three aspects: Relief, Recovery and Reform. It sought to provide immediate Relief for the millions of unemployed in the [[Great Depression]]. It was intended to promote Recovery of the economy to normal standards--a goal he did not fully achieve. It involved a series of Reforms, especially in the financial system and labor relations. The basic issue was how to deal with the severely damaged economy --and great social misery--caused by three years of the [[Great Depression]].  Conservatives endorsed parts of the '''First New Deal''' (the 1933 programs)  and rejected the more radical '''Second New Deal''' (the 1934-35 programs).

The New Deal was popular among voters leading to the formation of the [[New Deal Coalition]], which made the Democrats the majority party during the [[Fifth Party System]] into the 1960s. However a [[Conservative Coalition]] took control of Congress in 1937 and  blocked nearly all additional programs; during the war years (1941-45) the conservatives successfully rolled back many of the relief efforts on the grounds they were no longer needed since full employment was achieved.  The "reforms" that regulated the economy were mostly dropped in the deregulation era (1974-87), except for oversight of Wall Street buy the [[SEC]], which conservatives approved because it increased investor confidence.
