I realize you didn't say Hoover did nothing. That's just the common consensus used by leftoids to justify FDR's economic intervention during the depression,.....and something you eluded to in your post to Chuck.

You're exactly right, the measures and interventionist actions he took were completely ineffective, as were FDR's. If FDR's policies were so effective why was the country was still in depression until around 1944?

What I posted was hardly some Op Ed. Rothbard is recognized by many economists as a legitimate authority on the Great Depression. By your response I gather you have no idea who he was and I'm not entirely suprised. On top of that the last two paragraphs were Hoover's own words. That's fact Quatre Sel, the historical record is there if you care to read, which I gather you don't have the patience for.. As KK would say,.....I presented the facts, your relationship with those facts are entirely up to you

I also see your penchant for laziness when it comes to reading has appeared in the form of your refusal to read about my explanations on the mortgage and housing collapse in prior threads. As I explained to you before, blame can't be placed on those who failed to meet their obligations. They were doomed to fail from the beginning.

Try again,........and this time try reading something before you come back and try to defend your ignorance.
