Alphabet+Soup+Programs

=Alphabet Soup Programs=

The New Deal had countless programs, labeled an "alphabet soup" by the press. Among the New Deal acts, most of them were passed within the first 100 days of Roosevelt's Administration. Most were abolished around 1943; others remain in operation in 2009. These programs got their namebecause people thought when FDR ate alphabet soup he would just pick random letters and make up a new progam. Some of the most famous progams were the Public Workers Administaration (PWA), the Federal DEposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC), and theFederal Communications Commission (FCC).
