Explanation

Liberal critics argued that the New Deal did not go far enough to help ordinary and poor Americans. They wanted more economic opportunity, a greater redistribution of wealth, and additional social programs. Complaints about excessive government spending were more commonly associated with conservative opposition, and the New Deal strengthened federal power rather than expanding states’ rights.
