In: Economics, 2008 Economic Crisis, History of US Immigration, The Great Depression [Edit categories]

Answer:

Following the little done by the Hoover administration to help the economic situation, FDR projected confidence in his first inaugural address. FDR did not know much about economics but he knew enough to gather around him the brightest minds, known as his "Brain Trust." They, and FDR, pumped out suggestion after suggestion and sent one bill after another to Congress. If something didn't work, they tried something else. It gave the citizen the feeling that the federal government was doing something. FDR began his "fireside chats" over the radio. He talkedwith the people, not to them. His confidence was settling to the people who were afraid of their economic future. The first hundred days of his administration saw agency after agency created, bill after bill enacted by Congress and work program after work program putting people to work.
