Roosevelt thought that the government should manage the environment and regulate food and drug industries. His idea of fair government did not mean that everyone would get rich or that the government should take care of the lazy.

He also came up with the square deal program, which was a plan to keep the more wealthy and powerful people from taking advantage of small business owners and the poor.
