Not true...it’s estimated that 7 to 14 million starved and died of related illnesses under Hoover. Roosevelt...like him or not got aid to the common man...revisionist history.

Yes, I agree. 14 million died under Hoover ? Revisionist moonbat history. FDR worsened the Depression, and that's a fact.

I would really like a source on that claim. Given that there were only 122 million people in the U.S. (1930 census), a claim that 6-to-12% of the population died of starvation in a mere three years (1930-32) seems a wee bit excessive...
