The New Deal

Abstract Evidence from multiple disciplines suggests that early-life conditions and environments affect outcomes across the life course. However, less is known about the effects of policy interventions targeted to adults and communities that may have intergenerational consequences on exposed children. In this study, we undertake novel data linkages to examine the effects of the New Deal work–relief programs on long-term health, disability and mortality outcomes of children born between 1920-1940. We first link the American Manufacturing Cohort (AMC) workforce backward to their childhood census records to capture parental and community exposure to New Deal work-relief programs. We then test the hypothesis that employment in New Deal work-relief programs is associated with lower levels of chronic disease, lower rates of disability and delayed mortality for both the children in benefitting households and children in non-benefit households living in areas that received greater amounts of New Deal funding.

Clinical Trial Information

166 Background: Brachytherapy (BT) is widely used to treat clinically localized prostate cancer, but techniques vary and may affect patient outcomes. Methods: We prospectively studied three Boston-area patient cohorts who received different BT techniques: MRI guided, target volume avoids transition zone (MRBT) and two cohorts using standard imaging and planning techniques (USBT1 and USBT2). We surveyed patients pretreatment and at intervals after, using the validated PCSI scales for urinary incontinence (incont), obstruction/irritation (obstir) bowel problems, sexual dysfunction and the effect of incont on their lives (incontQOL). Based on early results showing increased acute urinary toxicity, USBT2 providers adopted an element of USBT1 technique. We report final 5-year follow-up. Results: Of 286 eligible patients, 73 MRBT patients and 190 USBT patients (99 USBT1 and 91 USBT2 patients) completed at least 3-month surveys. Patient differed by age (median: MRBT 65.3 years vs. USBT 68.3 p=0.005, USBT2 65.3 vs. USBT1 68.3 p=0.004) and education (MRBT 8%≤high school vs. USBT 23%, p<0.001) but other demographic and clinical variables were similar. MRBT patients had more pretreatment obstir symptoms and better sexual function pretreatment. USBT2 patients had greater increases in acute (3-month) obstir (28.8 vs. 20.0, p=0.01) and incont (12.2 vs. 7.1, p=0.01) than USBT1 but not bowel or sexual dysfunction, and all outcomes were similar at 5 years. Changing USBT2 technique eliminated the acute urinary differences. Compared to MRBT, USBT patients had greater increases in acute urinary morbidity (obstir 28.8 vs. 20.0, p=0.01; incont 9.6 vs. 2.2, p=0.002; incontQOL 10.2 vs. 2.4, p=0.0002) and long-term incontinence (incont 7.5 vs. 3.3, p=0.05; incontQOL 5.6 vs. 1.2, p=0.01). Other outcomes did not differ. Conclusions: QOL outcomes vary by BT technique. Measuring QOL may provide useful information for patients choosing treatment and providers assessing their technique. Clinical trial information: NCT00681694.

Time Points

Abstract BACKGROUND: At 3 time points, this study examined long-term psychosocial life outcomes of individuals who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy in comparison with individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy who were medically managed. OBJECTIVE: To examine seizure frequency, employment, driving, independent living, financial independence, mental health, and quality of life at each follow-up assessment, as well as predictors of outcomes. METHODS: All participants were diagnosed with medically intractable complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin with or without secondary generalization. A structured clinical interview was used at all 3 time points. Information was obtained regarding seizure frequency, antiepilepsy medications, employment, driving status, financial assistance, and independent living. Additionally, questions regarding quality of life, satisfaction with surgery, and the presence of depression or anxiety were included. Participants were, on average, 17 years postsurgery. RESULTS: Surgery resulted in significantly improved and sustained seizure outcomes. At the first, second, and third follow-ups, 67%, 72%, and 67% of participants in the surgery group remained seizure-free in the year before the follow-up interview. At each follow-up, 97%, 84%, and 84% reported that they would undergo surgery again. Seizure freedom predicted driving outcomes at all 3 time points, but was not a significant predictor for employment, independent living, or financial independence. Psychosocial life outcomes in the surgical group were improved and maintained over time in comparison with the medically managed group. CONCLUSION: This systematic long-term investigation provides strong support for the positive impact of anterior temporal lobectomy on psychosocial life outcomes including driving, employment, independent living, and financial independence.

The New Deal

The year 1937 marks a great division in the history of the Supreme Court. In a period of 18 months in 1935 and 1936, the Court struck down more important social and economic legislation of the national government and of state government than at any time in its history, including such landmarks of the New Deal as the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. In the nearly half-century since then, the Court has not invalidated even one piece of significant social legislation. The seminar will explore how this “Constitutional Revolution of 1937” came about. It will examine the changes wrought by the New Deal, the character of the Court in the era of “the nine old men,” controversial rulings such as those in the Schecter and Butler cases, the origins and nature of FDR's “court packing“ plan, and the long term consequences of the Constitutional Revolution.

The New Deal

Because of the quirks of the US constitution, Democrats find it difficult to assemble an electoral coalition capable of delivering working majorities in both chambers of Congress and a Democrat president. In the 2020 elections, Biden's electoral college victory was secured by 44,000 votes, distributed in three states. Republicans currently hold 59 state chambers to the Democrats' 39, and they will use this to further gerrymander boundaries and suppress votes. Trump took Reagan's Republican strategy - small government, populism and mobilising conservatives - to a logical conclusion by seeking to wreck government as a deliberate strategy and mobilising right-wing extremists to support his rule. Repairing Americans' faith in government is a long term task . However, Biden's continuing allegiance to the ideas of the New Deal, and the recognition the party must now give to its grassroots activists, particularly in black communities, may help to energise the Democrat coalition.

This essay explains the genesis and explosive growth of the online Living New Deal, an unprecedented team effort to inventory, map, and interpret the immense public works legacy of Franklin Roosevelt’s work relief programs designed to extricate the United States from the Great Depression. Based at the University of California Berkeley Department of Geography, the project has both preservation and public policy components, demonstrating the many immediate and long-term benefits of Roosevelt’s stimulus programs in contrast to the damage wrought by neoliberal austerity.
