the great depression - president hoover's handling of the crisis

Herbert Hoover, a republican president at the beginning of the great depression, was ineffective in his response because he was against giving money to the people who needed it and decided to give it to big corperations. this made the american people frustrated and the farmers decided to burn their crops, pour their milk on the streets and they stopped working. he also lacked emotion and common scense which made the vetrans make a bonus army which included their families and they marched all the way to washington d.c to support a law that gives them money at the time they neede it but president hoover decided to tear gas them and call them communist, the very people who fought for their country, to me that is just wrong.
