Education Clip FDR's Second 100 Days
About the Episode
FDR faces political enemies from the left and right. No one greater than Huey P. Long of Louisiana. To add to this, the Supreme Court rules the NRA unconstitutional. In June, 1935, he goes on the offensive: new taxes on wealthiest Americans, new law to break up monopolies, and the Wagner Act (National Labor Relations Board) and the Social Security Act.
