Fair Deal

The policy of social improvement advocated 1945-48 by Harry S Truman, as president of the USA 1945-53. The Fair Deal proposals, first mooted in 1945 after the end of World War II, aimed to extend the New Deal on health insurance, housing development, and the laws to maintain farming prices. Although some bills became law - for example a Housing Act, a higher minimum wage, and wider social security benefits - the main proposals were blocked by a hostile Congress.

Two or three more saloons, and I accumulate a warm jingle and come pretty close to knowing everybody in town, all about the town, and a fair deal about the surrounding country.
