Hoover’s big mistake was starting the new deal and signing the tariff. FDR pledged to CUT SPENDING AND WARNED OF THE DANGERS OF SOCIALISM!!!!! HE LIED HIS BUTT OFF.

Hoover’s big mistake was starting the new deal and signing the tariff.

It's one thing to look back 70 years and say "that proved to be bad economic policy"...it's quite another to try it again in similar context.

I've seen pieces put out by the media about how failed Hoover's policies were, but not a word on the fact that we may just be going down that road again.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. (George Santanaya)
