Connections to the Present Day: The Obama administration used FDR's "Hundred Days" as a blueprint for how to handle the 2008 recession. Certain banks like Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase were deemed "too big to fail," so the U.S. government bailed them out in 2008.

FDR is often criticized for his "alphabet soup" of New Deal programs. Don't worry too much about memorizing every single program. Just focus on the ones addressed in comprehension questions as they are most important to know!
