Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • After the stock market crash, Hoover increased spending for public works.


  • He established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make government credit available to banks and other financial institutions.


  • Seeking to restore confidence in the economy, Hoover strove for a balanced budget by raising taxes and cutting spending.


  • He believed that government relief to the needy had demoralizing effects on people.


  • Even when it was clear that the crisis was beyond the help of charitable groups, Hoover remained strongly opposed to direct relief for the poor.
