LAD #33: FDR's First Inaugural Address

FDR discusses in his inaugural address the troubles this nation is facing is thankfully only material. However, he continues on, defining happiness as being not based on money, but on achievement. He states how money-grabbing industries have reeked havoc on the citizens of the United States, and that action must be taken against these problems for the sake of the protection of the citizens of the United States. He lists plans to use the land in a better fashion, put people to work, and to prevent this economic situation from happening again. He then follows that up by stating how the people of the United States are more dependent on each other than ever before, and that people are willing to work together to solve this crisis. The overarching theme of the address seems to be intervention of the government to solve this crisis, and FDR is willing to do whatever it takes to reverse the effects of this depression.
