The New Deal: Radical or No?

The New Deal, Roosevelt's plan to come out of the Great Depression was seen by many as radical and scared even more people than that. It at first was more ideas and theories and not an actual plan. Later on it consisted of make new groups like the CCC and NRA to pull people off the streets and give them jobs and things to do. The theory was that if they could put money in the people's pocket then they would put it in the government's pocket. I think that is wasn't the idea of the New Deal was not as radical as the reaction. People rushed to the banks and pulled all of their money out and that is what lead to the collapse of the banking system. The idea of it, to fix the country in essence, wasn't radical it was just different from what the people were used to.
