Hoover, a Republican who had formerly served as U.S. secretary of commerce, believed that government should not directly intervene in the economy, and that it did not have the responsibility to create jobs or provide economic relief for its citizens. In 1932, however, with the country mired in the depths of the Great Depression and some 13-15 million people (or more than 20 percent of the U.S. population at the time) unemployed,

What years? Oh wait! It was when GWB was president which led to the great recession! Yes, my apologies.

Actually it was 2006. When the Dems won the House & Senate, they took us into a depression.

So Bush had absolutely nothing to do with it?

And by the way, Dems controlled the senate by only 1 vote.

Well, by all means, let's hope it happens again, so we can be right. -_-

I didn't want Trump, and I didn't want a Republican Congress, but I hope with all my heart that the history you mentioned does not repeat itself. I don't want to see all of Trump's proposals carried out - far from it. But I sure as hell don't want him to fail, either, just so I can gloat about his failure while the country goes down in flames.

What was your point here? If it was warning, it's a little late, and if it's a prediction, I hope you are wrong.
