    The document discusses the ongoing debate around the New Deal programs introduced under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. It notes that from the beginning there was tension around what level of support the government should provide and what should be left to individuals. In 1935, when Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins testified about the new Social Security program, Senator Thomas Gore questioned whether it constituted socialism. The document also directs students to read about the Supreme Court opposing earlier New Deal programs and FDR's response of proposing to pack the court with more justices.

    From the very beginning of the nations modern social welfare system even before Michael Moore began to explore the issue there was a tension in it: What should the government be expected to provide? What should be left to the individual? How much government is too much? The question was asked even in 1935, not exactly a time to instill confidence in the resilient power of private markets. Senator Thomas Gore, Democrat of Oklahoma, put it bluntly when Frances Perkins, the secretary of labor, testified on Capitol Hill that year about FDRs plan for a new program called Social Security. Isnt this socialism? Senator Gore demanded. When Ms. Perkins denied it, he asked again: Isnt this a teeny-weeny bit of socialism? http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/01/new-dealdebate-for-a-new-era/
