Invisible Hands explains how many people saw the New Deal as almost a form of socialism. Ultimately, the New Deal began a new type of conservatism that was strongly opposed to this new way of government. The New Deal allowed Americans to rely on the government for things like Social Security and many other government-funded programs. Citizens like blah were more in favor of a laissez faire type of government in which regulation and government assistance are at a minimum. In some cases, government programs are beneficial but can lead to problems in the future. Many people can learn to abuse the system or rely solely on the government to get them out of tough times. This leads to the average American being lazy and with zero desire for success. If anyone can get paid to stay home, they will. The New Deal, in many ways, created the beginning of a sluggish country. People who had the same ideas about the New Deal formed various groups to fight this socialist behavior, such as the Liberty League.
