how hoover tried harder to create jobs than GW

I started reading about good old Herbert Hoover just to get some historical perspective. You know, that good old Republican owned up to the fact that he had a serious economic problem, that the wages were falling too rapidly, and that people needed jobs and relief.

3. Hoover was a decent guy, but in over his head as President

It didnt' help that he inherited a Coolidge economy that was on the brink of collapse (he was the originator of modern-day Republican economics). Wonder why Coolidge opted out of another term?

Hoover was ill-equipped to deal with the Depression. FDR was the one that was able to think outside the box.
