to interfere as little as possible
~ Herbert Hoover ~Hoover is the 31st president of the United States. Hoover didn't participate into helping end the Great Depression. He is sort of a bad president, agree or not, he is horrible in my opinion. He died in New York City on October 20, 1964 and died by intestinal cancer, which is cancer in the stomach of the human body. Before I forget, Hoover is 5'11". Hoover is named after the shantytowns where people does nothing; 'Hoovervilles.' Sorry I gave you so much information about Hoover, Herbert. I am those history geeks. I hope this helps you a lot.
There was a bill passed in 1929 before Hoover was president to deport illegal Mexican immigrants. Hoover did his job to enforce it, expressing objection to people who did not respect the law and citing a need for jobs by US citizens Unfortunately, probably without Hoover's knowledge, some legal immigrants, particularly US born children of illegal adults were deported as well.
Herbert Hoover did not have a very successful Presidency. About the only major bill he got through was a tariff to protect farmers. Unfortunately for him, he was President during the stock market crash that caused the Great Depression. The 20th Amendment was ratified under his administration, but he was not responsible for that.
Hoover did not believe it was the job of the national government to provide direct relief to those in need. That was the job of private charities, churches, and the state and local governments. He did believe in economic stimulus by providing aid to the banks, railroads, and corporations that drove the economy. Thus the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was enacted. It provided aid at the top in hopes it would allow business to continue to grow and provide jobs. FDR continued the RFC because it was successful at what it did. The shanty towns that resulted from the numerous unemployed were termed "Hoover-villes." The boxcar on which many unemployed rode looking for work were called Hoover Pullman cars. Hoover was also severely criticized for sending the troops to break up the shanty towns that had grown up around Washington, DC while veterans were asking Congress to vote them their W.W.I bonus that was not yet due.
Hoover tried to 'repair' the economy by not allowing the government to give money directly to the people. he thought this would make the people lose the hope of finding a job; they would be 'spiritless'. Instead, the money was given to the banks and other big factories or industries.
To be perfectly honest, Hoover really didn't do much to help the Depression, but he predicted that the country would recover and go into prosperity in the next couple years, which was false. Job Hoover.

Before he was president , Hoover was a very successful mining engineer. After he became independently wealthy, he served as director of various public and private agencies as well as a stint as Secretary of Commerce.
Because he didn't DO ANYTHING- He believed in a market economy and fluctuations were considered normal and inevitable. Hoover believed the reason for the great depression was peoples lack of faith in the economy so that prevented people from reinvesting their money into the stock-market.
His first job out of college was in a Nevada City, California, gold mine working 70- hours a week pushing mining carts and doing hard manual labor.
A water boy in sport is usually a person whose job is to provide water and other refreshments to the competing athletes. Interestingly the previous President of America, Herbert Hoover, was a water boy.

He was a republican who believed in Laissez-Faire economics. Was elected to office in 1928. He aimed to eliminate poverty during his presidency, however, was unable to prevent the Great Depression. He did not think it was the government's job to interfere in the economy and he feared that the federal aid would weaken individual character.
President Hoover believed in limited government intervention in the economy and thought that the economy would naturally recover on its own. He was also concerned about the potential for increased government spending and debt. Additionally, Hoover believed that direct relief to the unemployed could discourage them from seeking work. He did implement some limited measures, such as creating the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, but these efforts were criticized as being too little and too late.
Yes. He was a mining engineer, ran his own consulting firm with great success and did work all over the world.
