Harry Truman's comprehensive set of domestic policies and reforms, which aimed to address various social and economic issues in the United States, was known as the "Fair Deal." Introduced in his 1949 State of the Union address the Fair Deal encompassed a range of proposals including measures to improve education expand healthcare access, increase the minimum wage, enhance social security and stimulate economic growth through government intervention and public works projects. Truman intended this program to build upon the New Deal policies initiated by Franklin D. Roosevelt and to address the challenges facing post-World War II America.
