" You cannot believe how many people are just flat-out convinced that Hoover was POTUS for the whole of the 20’s."The whole 20's thingy perhaps comes from his being Secretary of Commerce from 1921-'23 (under Wilson) and '24-'28 (Coolidge). Then he was elected President. In the meantime, Andrew Mellon was SecTreas the whole time.

Silent Cal said of Hoover something to the effect of “He was full of all manner of advice, all of it unwanted.”
Hoover meddled mightily in the ag commodity markets before he started meddling in employment from the the White House. The man was a menace to markets everywhere.
