Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" is very similar to FDR's "New Deal."
Both of these policies were aimed at helping American citizens by having more government intervention in everyday life. For example, FDR created several new federal agencies that still exist today to help citizens. This includes the Social Security Administration and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Social Security Administration helps to provide financial assistance to elderly citizens while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation helps to protect an individuals savings in banks that are licensed by the FDIC.
Lyndon B. Johnson also has lasting programs that help American citizens. Two of the most famous ones are Medicare and Medicaid. These help to cover medical costs for elderly American citizens and individuals who live below the poverty line.
