Roosevelt's New Deal
http://www.cyberessays.com/History/84.htm

 The New Deal describes the program of US president Franklin D.
Roosevelt from 1933 to 1939 of relief, recovery, and reform.

PWA $6B
WPA $11B

http://www.minneapolisfed.org/index.cfm for an inflation program to 
get all the number into the same frame work

A 1939 dollar is worth 12.39 in 2000. So $17B (1939) x 12.39 = $210B 
(2000) for 6 years of "relief" (1933-1939)

$210B is what the New Deal cost.

Something to keep in mind these days.
