How did the new deal transform America?

Answer:
Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the New Deal was to ease the economic hardship faced by many during the Great Depression. While not being able to end the Depression, the New Deal did preserve the people's confidence in America's institutions and government. The relief measures of the New Deal were considered a success.
While there were some radical movements during the Great Depression, the faith Americans had in their system of government did not falter.The New Deal caused more growth of the federal government and increased the cost to maintain those new governmental agencies. From FDR's New Deal to the present, the federal government has continued to grow, assume an active role in the daily lives of citizens, and to cost more in the form of taxes, and to spend more on domestic and foreign affairs. Many politicians, economists, and students of government did not favor such increases.
