The second section of City of Ambition dealt mainly with the New Deal, its program, and their controversies and effectiveness. Reading through this section, I was amazed to see how similar President Roosevelt’s and Mayor La Guardia’s ideas where on trying to fix the economic crisis that plagued the countries. The two leaders, in trying to solve the issues, didn’t try to do something crazy to pull the country out the Depression. They were also not concerned with just getting the country out of it, but as many people as they could out of the Depression. Hence, they provided as many people as they could with decent, respectable jobs, tailored to their specialties, which didn’t put a burden on the unemployed or on the system, but actually helped.
