Respuesta :
President Hoover was unprepared for the magnitude of the depression crisis, and his meagre response did not even begin to assist the millions of Americans in need. His actions were consistent with his philosophy of limited government, which many shared with him until the upheavals of the Great Depression made it clear that a more direct government response was required.
However, Hoover was adamant in his refusal to give "handouts," as he saw direct government assistance. He urged America's businesses to adopt a volunteerism mindset in order to keep workers employed, and he exhorted the American people to tighten their belts and make do in the spirit of "rugged individualism."
While Hoover's philosophy and appeal to the country were in keeping with his character, they were insufficient to keep the economy from spiraling further into economic chaos.
Hoover's actions were ultimately too little, too late. He devised programmes to re-employ people and provide assistance to beleaguered local and state charities. However, the programmes were small in scope and extremely limited in terms of who could benefit, and they only reached a small percentage of those in need. As the situation deteriorated, the public grew increasingly dissatisfied with Hoover. He had one of the lowest approval ratings of any president in history when he left office.
