THE REFORMS OF THE 1960'S
New Frontier
The New Frontier was a combination of NASA and the War on Poverty combined. President John F. Kennedy was the promoter of the New Frontier. The reform happened because of John F. Kennedy's campaign for president. He filled America with hope.
The reform was to help those in need who were suffering from poverty while protecting them from the Soviet Union. The reform enhanced Social Security. Not only did it do that, it helped hospital construction and made sure that children were provided lunch at school.
Unemployment benefits were expanded which are still used today because people who are unemployed receive some benefits. Nearly $800 million in welfare benefits were given to 3 million unemployed Americans. A new housing act gave over $200 million in welfare payments to around 750,000 people.
