The government took on a greater role in the everyday social and economic lives of the people. As the federal government grew with new agencies and reform attempts, the cost of government increased. The growth of the government continued following the New Deal. Many of the new agencies created by the New Deal, and by future presidents, would increase the power of the Executive Branch. The Great Depression and the New Deal measures led to the domestic programs of JFK's New Frontier, and LBJ's Great Society and War on Poverty. The New Deal measures have also had an influence on the current Obama administration, in its attempts to stimulate the economy.

Why did Franklin D. Roosevelt pick November for Thanksgiving?
He changed it from the LAST Thursday to the fourth Thursday in 1939. That really upset a lot of publishers who already had calendars printed showing Thanksgiving on November 30. Retailers were happy because they got an extra week for Christmas sales. From 1863 when Lincoln declared the first National Thanksgiving Day, it was not a national holiday until declared by the President each year. But it had always been the Last Thursday in November. In 1940 and 1941 Roosevelt also declared Thanksgiving on the second-to-last Thursday (I didn't save those calendars, but I think that would have made it on the 21st and 20th). Then in December of 1941 Congress passed legislation setting the date to be the fourth Thursday for all future years.
Which president tried to pack the supreme court in 1930?

And the advent of the European war in 1939 (which was obviously coming even in 1936) calmed down a lot of the political turmoil within the US as the '30s came to a close.
