**__The American Speech__** My fellow Americans I have an idea. This idea could save all of America and all of us from unemployment and unhappiness. I believe this could help us achieve something more then sheer happiness and a job. It could help us trust the government again. I believe that if we have the government regulate and take control of banks all across America things will get better. I will put a group called the FDIC which means Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. I know what you are thinking how can they keep us from making the same mistake as before. I tell you this we must take chances. We all have taken a chance with the stock market and how did that work out. It crashed and we all got scared. I tell you this with abrupt confidence that if you trust the FDIC. They will make the US greater then before. They want to provide safety to all insured depository functions. My fellow Americans I want you all to sit for a minute and think what if I do trust the government. What would that get me. I promise you if you trust the government then the government will not let you down. I bet your wondering well what does the FDIC do. Well they will identify, monitor, and address any risks in a depository insurance fund. It will help you know that even if the stock market does crash again. That your money will be safe you must remember that as Americans we have a duty not to spend to much ; not to spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need. That is what led into this depression. Hopefully this will get us out. This will help our nation I see it working for many years beyond the great depression I see it helping banks in 20, 30, maybe even 90 years from now. This is will help improve America it will help improve all of our lives and out money will be kept safe. It will help regulate all practices that have to do with banks. It will help the banks by depositing up to 100,000 dollars in them, but only to banks that have proven themselves good and that will stay open. My fellow Americans I think that if you help the government it will help you. I will let you decide on that but I believe that this will work and I hope you vote that this gets passed. This will definitely help our economy. It will make out economy better then before. I leave you with that my fellow Americans.

__ How the WW2 Brought us out of the great depression. __ This is a report about how World War 2 brought us out of our depression. In the late 1930s because of all the new deals. Our economy was not bad but it wasn’t as good as it was. The new deals were helping but they were not helping a lot. Then the Japanese bombed pearl harbor. After a speech by FDR we went to war with the axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. When we did this more jobs opened up not including just joining the army. We need people to make the boats, ammunition, and tanks. Not to mention all the men were being drafted and so women started to do the jobs that men did. As the men went to fight the economy got better because more businesses needed workers and the unemployment rate went down fast. More and more people started getting jobs and other things. Even kids were helping by collecting pieces of old metal or old toys. I got this information from [], from http://www.bookrags.com/research/end-of-the-great-depression-gdnd-01/ and from []
