I would say "the New Deal made government too big and powerful and limited rights of individuals and property."

The New Deal was the antithesis of small government. The expanse of social programs was staggering to any objective observer; however, this constituted the powerful economic stimulus later described by Keynesian Economics. 

Political conservatives would favor a smaller government as opposed to a larger one. Prior to the Great Depression, individuals and private agencies were tasked with social welfare projects. This reality changed with the onset of the Great Depression. The fear that the federal government would become too powerful was a constant concern of conservatives.
