One major criticism of the New Deal was that it provided a path to a huge federal government. Critics argued that the expansion of federal programs and agencies significantly increased government reach into various aspects of Americans' lives, leading to concerns about overreach and dependence on federal assistance. Another criticism centered on its failure to provide adequate relief to minorities and women. Many New Deal programs primarily benefited white men, and the marginalized groups often received less support, as policies were unevenly implemented, revealing deep-seated racial and gender disparities in the relief efforts at that time.
