Wilson was first the governor of New York and came into office after President Hoover into a very bad economic downfall. Roosevelt tried many ways to assure the people of America that he was going to fix the economic situation and reassured them of this with his fireside chats on the radio and his assuring words such as "The only thing to fear is fear itself". Roosevelt knew that he had high expectations and he tried to take them head on for the good of his people. at the time taxes were very high, credit backfired, there was high unemployment because so many industries had to close down and the currency was unstable. Roosevelt's belief was that with a strong government and having the American people staying strong he would be able to fix the bad shape that America was in. He had a plan that would employ millions and hopefully instill hope in the American people. A steady stream of workers along with the strong government would in his mind, allow the country to bounce back from the economic crisis it was facing. he believed that the hard times that America was going through would provide for a good learning experience and help the country stay out of depression and prevent it in the future. He also promised that new plans are being developed which would eventually help America in getting back on their feet and hopefully return to their original state and stay out of another economic downfall.
