I would suggest that, for better or worse, the "New Deal" has never gone away, just some of its programs. The new relationship the Deal forged between government and the people still dominates much of our thinking today. Sometimes it is just labeled "liberalism," but I'm not sure that's fair to either. Concepts/programs such as Medicare and Medicaid (already mentioned) are the New Deal with a new name that Johnson created ("The Great Society" --- pretty bold since he didn't think of calling it the "Better" society or the "Good" society--- you can hear his speech and many other interesting ones at the link below).
