The republicans claimed that Roosevelt was behaving like a dictator and making the government too powerful. He was even compared to Hitler and Stalin! They said that the Tennesse Valley Authority and the National Recovery Administration schemese were just like the economic planning of the Soviet Union. They believed that the Social Security Act would undermine the American way of life by making people lazy and dependent on government help.

The Republicans also objected to the huge cost of the New Deal. they claimed to much of the money was being wasted; for example, the WPA was paying people to do unnecessary jobs.
