Herbert Hoover

This question was recently forwarded to Stevin Hoover, whose email was obtained from his blog (http://www.stevin-hoover.com). He answered the question as follows: "I have taken full responsibility for all charges made against me by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, with no equivocation and no qualifiers."

1. 1880 (The year his father died)

2. 1884 (The year his mother died)

No. Herbert Hoover died in 1964. However he did go to Stanford from 1891 to 1895.

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

A Hooverville was a run-down town built by homeless people during the Great Depression. AND The men have concluded that President Hoover's speech was not reflecting what was really happening at that point in time. His speech gave the impression that there was no poverty, no 'Depression at all'. That is why in the next question, #3 , the men's faces suggest that they are shocked at the fact that President Hoover was being so nonchalant about the reality of the Depression.

Hoover was never in a wheelchair while President. You are probably confused with Franklin Roosevelt, who suffered from the effects of polio.

a voluntary recovery plan and limited government intervention in the form of public works projects and small federal loans to states.

Hoovervilles (also called shantytowns) were camps built by families during the Great Depression in the 1930s who were unfortunate enough to not be able to pay their mortgages anymore. They were built in open spaces using tin, cardboard, tar paper, glass, composition roofing, canvas, and other materials. The Americans named these towns after President Herbert Hoover because many citizens blamed him for the Great Depression, the downfall of the economic stability and lack of government help.

FDR liked big government. He thought the federal government should play a role in virtually every aspect of life in the US . He was not particularly concerned with balancing the budget or constitutional niceties. He was not afraid to get the US involved in European conflicts.

Hoover was more traditional. He believed in individual responsibility and traditional self-reliance. He believed that the role of the federal government should be limited to the duties specified in the US Constitution. He did not want to increase the national debt or make commitments to European countries that could force us into war.

In short, Roosevelt was a liberal Democrat and Hoover was a conservative Republican except for defense spending.

He called for private relief rather than government aid, and this led to the impression that he lacked compassion, which was shown to be untrue as he initiated public relief efforts which were later enlarged in F.D. Roosevelt`s New Deal. He later organised civilian relief efforts in Europe during WWII.

He tried to put taxes on european goods, so that the consumption would raise, within US, so that the money didnt leave US, but stayed within. But it was a failure to do so, cause Europe fought back, by raising the taxes on US goods, which lead to no one wanting to import goods from the US.

Hoover ran twice. He won the first time but was defeated by Roosevelt in his re-election bid.
