Hoover again. A very good executive in European war relief and the great Mississippi flood of '27. Something tied his hands or his mind in the crash; perhaps he would have done better with the human displacement of the Dust Bowl yrs but we'll never know. FDR tapdanced his way thru the alphabet creating the work camps and agencies which at least suggested a government with eyes open and the very Keynsian WWII saved our bacon by throwing a huge chunk of it down a very big drain on foreign soil. As for the Great Communicator, I have no idea what he would have been told to say about Shrub's Progress.
