President's New Deal is Unreal
US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is known for his New Deal program 7 decades ago. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY)tipped his own New Deal when addressing economists at ISEI conference yesterday. Both presidents are from Democrat Party. The difference is president SBY's New Deal is Unreal. What?
Some newspapers, including where I work, Bisnis Indonesia, put the today's headline with the sub-title like this...The President offers New Deal...What the president calls as New Deal?
First, create jobs.
Second, improve human resources quality through education and health care system.
That's it. Fortunately, he's not in the campaign trail.
Anyway, below are some of FDR's New Deal:
First, Civil Works Administration (CWA): This public work program gave the unemployed jobs building or repairing roads, parks, airports, etc. The CWA provided a psychological and physical boost to its 4 million workers.
Second, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC): This environmental program put 2.5 million unmarried men to work maintaining and restoring forests, beaches, and parks. Workers earned only $1 a day but received free board and job training. From 1934 to 1937, this program funded similar programs for 8,500 women. We could try this at Lapindo's mudflow disaster.
Third, National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) of June 1933: The decline in the industrial prices in 1930s caused business failures and unemployment. The NIRA was formed in order to boost the declining prices, helping businesses and workers. The NIRA also allowed trade associations in many industries to write codes regulating wages, working conditions, production, and prices. It also set a minimum wage.
Fourth, Works Progress Administration (WPA) 1935-1943: This agency provided work for 8 million Americans. The WPA constructed or repaired schools, hospitals, airfields, etc. We could transform Workforce Department (Depnaker) to be like WPA.
