they tried to. they created the rural electrification act which helped set up electricity to rural America which still operates today, and there was a failed attempt by the government to have farmers slaughter their livestock as to try and use supply and demand to raise the prices of food. they also had prgrams like the CCC civilian conservation corps that built dams and roads to try and industrialize rural America. and anyways, its not the governments job to try and bail us out like that!

It wasn't. During the 1930's Depression, Government aid was vital in keeping ailing businesses afloat and creating jobs for unemployed Americans. The Alphabet Agencies and The New Deal are examples of successful government schemes during the Depression.

While not believing in charity by the government, Hoover did try and help the economic mess that began during his administration. He gave much of his money to charity and encouraged Americans to do the same. He broke with Republicans and did away with the taxes that had been placed on citizens during the Coolidge administration. Hoover believed in a balanced budget and not pumping government money into the economy. He believed in "rugged individualism" and relied on the individual, the churches and private charities, and the local and state governments to handle most of the economic help that was needed.
