President Hoover's believed in limited federal government intervention in direct relief for people in need. He stressed private and local responsibility for direct relief for the needy.

Hoover believed that government should not interfere in business cycles. At the time, there were few US laws that could be used to prevent the downward spiral that brought on the Great Depression.

The country's economic problems had grown worse and people thought Hoover wasn't doing enough.

"Hoover cart" -- the remains of the old tin Lizzie being pulled by a mule

During part of the great depression of the 1930's when Herbert Hoover was president, many auotomobile owners could not afford gasoline to power their cars so would cut off the rear end of the vehicle, attach a tongue and pull it as a cart with either a horse or mule. Others simply took the rear end housing out of the car, built a wooden cart over the housing and pull this with a horse or mule. These carts acquired the nickname "Hoover Carts" in "honor" of President Hoover.

Don't forget the Federal Farm Board and Grain stabilization act (FFB/GSA), division of public construction and emergency construction and relief act. It was an effort to end the depression, it did more harm than good. The RFC rewarded failure. It was also corrupted (Charles Dawes), and it publicly published names of the banks and corporations that received loans, discrediting those establishment. Many banks that received loans went on to fail. All of the above mentioned relief programs took (tax) money from every American and redistributed it to corporations, banks, farmers, and newly created public jobs.

No- Hoover was not in the armed services.

Hoover, as the 31st president and a member of the Republican Party, served just one term from 1929-1933. Before his presidency, he served as Secretary of Commerce under Republican Calvin Coolidge (1923-1928). However, during his term, he did little to help support homeless and unemployed families around the country during the Great Depression. As a result, shanty towns in big cities were nicknamed "Hoovervilles", while pockets empty of money were called "Hoover flags". He sought for reelection in 1932 but lost in a landslide to Democratic candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

He believed that by helping businesses , he was also helping individuals.

Hoover tried to combat the depression with public works projects including the Hoover Dam. He also used government enforced efforts, tariffs, and an increase in corporate taxes and taxes for the top tax bracket.

When President Hoover ordered that the Bonus Army be dispersed in 1932, his public image was damaged. Hoover ordered that WW1 veterans, who were protesting outside federal buildings in Washington, DC be removed by soldiers of the Army. These protesting veterans were called the Bonus Army because they wanted immediate cash redemption for their service certificates. In 1924, Congress voted to give a bonus to WW1 veterans, but they needed to wait until 1945 to collect these bonuses. However, due to the Depression, many veterans were unemployed and so wanted their bonuses early.
