How successful were efforts to undo the New Deal and curtail the Fair Deal from 1945 to 1960?
What will be an ideal response?
Early efforts to undo the New Deal were unsuccessful, but unions lost popular support after labor strikes in important industries; subsequently, the Taft-Hartley Act undid significant aspects of the New Deal's labor protections, leaving most of the New Deal programs intact. After Eisenhower's election Republicans hoped to undo Truman's Fair Deal. Eisenhower refused to cut back social security, labor protections, or farm programs, but did veto public housing and public works projects.
