The president remains the most powerful actor, but he now must contend with an active Congress, oversee a complex executive bureaucracy, and respond to pressures and ideas generated by the press, think tanks, and public opinion.

POV date December 2007 POV title date December 2007 Interestgroup democracy was an attempt by the President of the United States American President Franklin D. Roosevelt to create broad support for the New Deal by giving major interestgroup s at least part of what they wanted. In addition to aiding bankers , farmers , corporations , and the unemployed , United States Congress Congress enacted legislation to helping homeowners , investor stock investors , and the Rail transport railroads . Implementation The Home Owners Refinancing Act provided two billion dollars to refinance home mortgages facing foreclosure . The Federal Housing Administration FHA was created to help new home buyers secure low interest mortgages . The FHA encouraged bankers to lower their interest rates by guaranteeing repayment of home mortgage loans. The Securities Act of 1933 required stockbrokers to provide investors with full information about new stock issues. The Emergency Railroad Transportation Act enabled bankrupt railroads to reorganize. Results Roosevelt s approach to solving the nation s economic problems produced modest results. The number of unemployed fell from 13 million in 1933 to 11.4 million the following year. Farm income rose about 50 although it remained well below its 1929 level. Industrial production and wages in manufacturing slowly moved upward. But despite these indications of progress, the nation remained caught in the grip of the worst economic Great Depression depression in its history. See also Franklin D.

An interest fair is an event somewhat like a science fair usually organized by a school that involves a group of corrugated cardboard boards on which students put information on their favorite topic or hobby Originally they also had to write a short paper. Unlike a science fair, it has both competitive and non competitive elements. History of the Interest Fair History of the Fair The interest fair originated in Columbus, Ohio at St. Joseph Montessori school. It was created as an alternative to the science fair because they wanted more flexibility. They wanted to focus on the student. When they did it they invited 6 14 year old students to do an interest fair, but required the older students to do it. The students were judged and had to tell visitors about their Interest Fair board. http www.education world.com a curr profdev profdev093.shtml Evolution of the Fair Over time the idea caught on, and it has evolved between schools, so it has been seen in many variations. In some schools the competitive element is completely removed, so there are no judges. In others, only the upper grade levels get to participate. In some places the students do not have to discuss their topic with visitors. Sometimes the students have to write a paper. The project may be optional or required.
