What was one economic consequence of the new deal?

The biggest consequence of the New Deal on the history of the United States was that more power was given to the federal government during that period which led to the federal government getting more involved in the day to day lives of the American citizens. Prior to the Depression and the New Deal, the people looked to the federal government for regulation of trade and commerce and for defense. Now, the federal government entered the daily lives of the citizens. President Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" can be seen as an outgrowth of the New Deal, as well as President Bush's "No Child Left Behind" educational program.
