Except that Hoover didn’t have George W. Bush to blame all his problems on.

A few months after the election, the uninspiring man from New England left the White House... Hoover was born in Iowa, raised for the most part in Oregon, and educated at Stanford. I don't think he ever lived in New England.
Other than that, neat story.

And according to many, it was Democratic icon FDR who ended that depression, when in fact it was really World War II that bailed the US out from FDR’s socialist “fixes” for that depression.

So he raised taxes, cut into trade, and spent tax money like there was no tomorrow...how was he a “scapegoat”? Sure, FDR made it a lot worse, but it looks like Hoover did his fair share to screw it all up.

Hoover wasn’t a scapegoat. He deserved the blame for the Great Depression. The first bad move he made was turning the Federal Reserve against the stock market.
