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.
