I suggest you take a look through a history book with pictures of ‘Hoovervilles’. Read up on the bonus march and dust bowl. My Mother was sent to the orphanage for a couple of years when her parents could no longer provide for her and her sister... My Dad’s Father left the family in 1933 and my Dad saw him twice in his entire life. This is what Hoover thought...the greater society would take care of each others...family, charity etc...It did not work and millions out and out starved...Most people view the depression as a Walton rerun...it wasn’t.

Absolutely untrue. If you insist on this nonsense, cite a source.
