At this time there were millions of unemployed that were in search of work. The government was only giving employment opportunities to “one-quarter of a million of the unemployed,” and it was only in the fields of forestry and flood prevention. It was also only mainly directed towards younger men who were looking for jobs. Even some people who had jobs, like farmers, were still unable to pay off the loans and debt they had acquired. As a result of this, Congress decided to pass a legislation to ease mortgage distress, when farmers and homeowners couldn’t pay off their loans so their property was taken away, for those who fell into that category. People argue that it is unrealistic to try and get everybody that was unemployed jobs and that the government was really trying to help these people who were in that situation and I see what they are saying but Congress still could have thought of more ideas that could have employed more people even though there would still be many unemployed people throughout America (Roosevelt
