Great Britain's attitude toward facing the Great Depression is that with the help of the government and the participations of the people that the problems will solve themselves and they will still be as powerful as ever before. .
The Untied States on the other hand has the same concerns as Great Britain and also wants to address them in the most appropriate way. The United States like Great Britain wants the government to take up the slack and help to uplift the people. They are very afraid of letting the people down and having the government loose the power to act. Roosevelt wants to increase the national income so that more people can by put into private jobs and have a security that they need to survive. The United States" plan was recognized by the amount of expenditures that they had from 1931 to 1939, the numbers were always higher than the amount of revenue that the nation had. The numbers varied from 3,577,437 to as high as 8,841,224. These funds were used for work relief of the unemployed.
The United States also wanted to make more jobs available by clearing the slums and making public improvements to the countries cities. He also wanted to make more roads and more federal buildings, all of which would create more jobs for the people of the United States. Roosevelt's last request was that the people didn't loose sight of the importance of a democracy. He states that "We need more that the materials of recovery. We need a united national will ." .
As we come to the next two nations we realize that more jobs and more government help seem to not be so important to the leaders of Germany and Japan. Germany is more concerned with building up the armies and using the government's expenditures on the funding of the army and getting more and more people to volunteer for Germany's army. Germany used up to 7,415 dollars in defense expenditures in the 1930's and had the largest amount of people in the Army reaching 3,706,104 in September of 1939.
