Most of it seems to be changes that should of been made. With a few changes being puzzling like the afforementioned Jefferson thing.

The economic changes really were mostly needed. Hell most history textbooks still teach us that the New Deal got us out of the Great Depression when 9 out of 10 economists will tell you it prolonged it. As it is now you spend 12 years of your life learning one thing, then once you hit college and take an economics course you learn it's all bunk.

Overall it will probably be a positive with some weird changes. 

I didn't learn that at college... in fact, my professor complained that FDR went half assed with his fiscal policy, and balanced the budget, which resulted in a second recession.

Second recession? that would imply that the first had come to an end. and your professor probably left out the part about the fed tightening the money supply.

That was under Hoover though...

And yes, there was a second recession:
