Handling the Great Depression |
|||
|
Hoover and Roosevelt had very different ideas on how the Depression should be handled. ... As one can easily see, in many ways these two are complete opposites; in fact, if one looks at both their upbringing and their political affiliation, it seems that Roosevelts and Hoovers policies must have been different in a great many ways. ... Hoover had endured a great many hardships in his life, and knew what it was like to do without. ... As Hoover was born poor, one would think that he would know how to run the country like a business, so that it would stay afloat; however, when confronted with the Depression, he repeatedly cut taxes. ... He believed that the Depression could be solved merely by putting as many people to work for the government as possible. ... It is questionable how much these work projects actually helped America to come out of the Depression; in fact, most believe that only World War II saved Americas economy. Regardless, the American spirit was once again uplifted, and even if the Depression hadnt gone away the American public once again felt as though they were the best country in the world. ... As far as their political views, Hoover favored a local end to the Depression, basically not believing that the central American government could accomplish what was necessary. |
