What were the goals of the New Deal?

There were two major goals of the New Deal.  The first and
most urgent goal was to end the Great Depression.  The second goal was to prevent a
similar catastrophe from happening in the future.

To
achieve the first goal, FDR put in place a number of programs meant to create jobs.  He
created, for example, the CCCs and the WPA.  Both of these programs put people to work
on government jobs.  He also created programs that gave relief to the
poor.

But FDR also wanted to prevent future depressions. 
To try to do this he created government agencies that were meant to do things like
preventing poverty among old people (Social Security), prevent people from losing money
in bank failures (FDIC) and prevent fraud against investors (SEC).  He also created
things like the TVA that were meant to strengthen the potential of the US
economy.

The New Deal, then, was meant to ameliorate
conditions in the short run and to prevent future depressions.
