They forgot about Herby Hoover signing protectionist legislation that greatly contributed to the severity and length of the Great Depression. In fact Herby and Franklin Roosevelt should get a joint award for making the depression worst through their meddling.
The lunacy of these historians show by merely mentioning Jefferson and Madison. Jefferson's sins, whatever they were, were more than covered by the fact that he alone more than tripled the size of American Territory by jumping on an opportunity. Madison, despite blunders in the early days of the War of 1812, went on to unify a young nation and close a continent to further European encroachment.
Also conspicuously absent from this list is FDR's transforming what begin as a normal cyclical economic downturn into a decade-long depression as an excuse to grow government.
Hoover triggered the Great Depression by telling the Federal Reserve to take actions that caused the stock market crash. His wage supports caused massive unemployment. What makes Hoover so bad is that those actions were unofficial. That way he could maintain that he was was a typical hands-off Republican president. His persona as an engineer ended up being disastrous for a president. The presidency was his first elected office.
