The New Deal federal govt. approved and financed programs that battled the depression How did they afford this? –Raise taxes –Inflation

Farmers as prices bottomed out, many farmers could not sell their crops without income, they could not repay their house and land loans banks foreclosed on their homes & land If things weren’t bad enough, drought struck! Dust Bowl – dust storms on the Great Plains families migrated west for a new life (to California)
