Dr. Townshend came up with the idea of the social security program. Who was discontented with Roosevelt? Many elderly people; along with many others. Father Charles Coughlin –page 467 How did Coughlin feel about Roosevelt? Supported Roosevelt at first because he thought Roosevelt agreed with his beliefs, such as: nationalizing banks and running them like the post office. Once he realized that Roosevelt did not plan on changing the nation’s financial system he turned on him. Why was he anti-Semitic ? Blamed bankers and Jews for the financial ruin of the country. He believed the wealth of a few should be redistributed among the people.

Senator Huey Long – page 468 What did Senator Huey Long want? Louisiana governor who became very popular by the people and later was elected to the Senate.

In your opinion is this a good idea? Why or why not? The Supreme Court – 471 What did Roosevelt want to do with the Supreme Court? Backed by 60% of the voters, Roosevelt believed the people were behind him all the way. He planned on appointing additional judges who would be sympathetic to his New Deal plans.
