 * The Public Works Administration (PWA)**

PWA is the Public Works Administration. Presindent Roosevelt is authorizing the Public Works Adminitration on June,6,1933,during his first 100 days in office. The PWA's purpose is to help the country climb out the Great Depression. The project are creating beautiful and helpful things for American. Some of the PWA projects include the highway linking the Florida keys to the mainland United states,the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, the federal trade commition buliding in Washington DC, the PWA is not a work relief program, like the WPA. Roosevelt says often the getting people to work it better than giving them handout people need to feel useful. They are asking people for project ideas. Some of the project include a rocket to the moon,building a moving sidewalk across the country, schools and parks.

The PWA has been critized for being very slow and getting strated because Harold Ickes, the director, it so meticulous in deciding which proposals to use. Roosevelt thinks the PWA project will turn the economy around,but has'nt yet. Roosevelt turned to other program like the Civil Works Administration, followed buy the WPA.These problem can do smaller project that are quicker to set up.Roosevelt it saying that the WPA it not helping the economy but PWA is issuing a report in 1939 titled 'American Builds', to show how to help the economy. when they pay the workers wages, the workers buy products and that stimulates the enconomy. It hasn't brought the Depression to an end, but it helps people to survive.

The building programs will helps people post-war prosperity. Americans will use these programs for years to come. After the end of World War II,they are buliding hundreds of ariports,thousands of miles of road,bridges,sewer systems. Americans are still using that infrastructure today, they are building by PWA.
