What caused Herbert hover to raise taxes during the depression?

Hoover broke with Republicans and did away with the taxes that had been placed on citizens during the Coolidge administration. He thought that would allow for more income being spent to help the economy rebound. He spent $500 million a year on public works and government programs to build or improve government properties. The most famous was the Hoover (Boulder) Dam. Congress established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (continued by FDR) which created an agency to help banks, railroads, and other key businesses to stay in business thus helping the economy.

Was the white house burned down twice?

The White House, the official residence of the President of the United States of America, was constructed in 1800 and inhabited by each subsequent president until the War of 1812, when during the Burning of Washington on August 24th, 1814, the British Army set fire to the White House and burned it to the ground. The White House was re-constructed after the war and has been in continual use since 1817. Therefore the White House has been burned down once, by the British Army in 1814.


How did hover respond to the Great Depression?

Similar to the economic crises of 2008, President Hoover took office immediately after the crash of 29. Hoover responded to the economic downturn very much like the current SEC and Federal Reserve response. While loath to interfere with markets, Hoover sought to support the banking system by offering funding to businesses in exchange for collateral, and began public works programs. The lengths Hoover took were obscured by the incredible lengths taken by the FDR administration (Roosevelt). Public works programs in this era had an incredible impact on a generation who relied upon soup lines for survival. It should be noted that Hoover's Secretary of State (Mellon) was famous for arguing that the 'free market' should sort itself out - and that the government should 'do nothing.' Hoover disagreed with Mellon on the approach that should be taken to resolve the Great Depression, and the disagreement eventually led to a rift. "Mellon continued as secretary of the Treasury under President Herbert Hoover. Mellon interpreted the Great Depression of 1929 as a natural phenomenon and favored deflation; he was critical of public works and pursued a traditional policy of economy. In early 1930 Mellon observed, "I see nothing in the present situation that is either menacing or warrants pessimism." However, a combination of criticism of his tax policy and the Depression itself eventuated in his resignation. Hoover persuaded him to accept an appointment as ambassador to Great Britain in 1932."
