When the Great Depression hit, FDR, as Governor of New York, realized that the state and federal governments would have to use much more power than they had been using, to help the economic situation. He asked the NY State Legislature for relief funds, which would be called "stimulus" spending today. The money was spent on public works which would create the need for more employment. FDR would follow his own example when he became President. To be fair, President Hoover also believed that state governments should provide the most relief (stimulus) to the local economy. FDR also believed in direct aid to the unemployed by both state and the federal government.
