Read up on some history...Roosevelt did not worsen the depression-revisionist history. Unemployment improved despite the fact that figures for that time do not show the government employment programs such as ccc and other programs...33 was the worst year...Roosevelt became president in March of 33...google it...look at any graph. In fact the only time unemployment went up during the 30’s was when Roosevelt cut spending in 36 and balanced the budget...caused a spike in unemployment...but didn’t reach the levels of 33. Why do you think Roosevelt got elected four times if Hoover was so much better?...then there is the little matter of Hoover ordering the Army to fire upon former US soldiers who had come to Washington for the bonus money in 32...Patton and McArthur as was Eisenhower were involved...Read about it if you don’t believe me (bonus march).
