Roosevelt's basic philosophy manifested itself in what became known as the three " R's " of relief, recovery and reform. “Relief” programs sought to alleviate the suffering of the poor and unemployed by giving them the jobs or assistance; “Recovery” programs were those that were intended to get the economy moving again and out of Depression; while “Reform” programs were intended to prevent such an economic disaster from happening again. Read the programs on the chart above, and place them in the appropriate column. Some programs will go in two or three columns.
