HOOVER
----
Actually Hoover for the begining of it for overreaction with too much spending.
Then FDR for extending it and prolonging it with even more spending.
Even FDR himself stated portions of his NEWDEAL was a failure (specificially as it related to unemployment, since most of his work programs were not jobs, but just 'make work' and some were not even with pay.
Hoover helped the depresssion along by doing the tarrifs and etc which turned it into a full depression... Till that, it was still more of a major crash.
Fact is, that Hoovers predesssors created the best economic times ever, and by overspending and then overreacting, the depression was not only created but deepened.
Hoover actually deserves blame but so does FDR for too much followup.
FDR himself stated in 1939 that they overdid portions of the response and it was those responses that extended the depression.
