Was President Hoover a progressive?

In about the same ways Nazis were socialists, most likely, with the same, yuk, yuk, look here how I know something those egghead liberals who write the textbooks don't tell you because they're part of a vast conspiracy.

I'm not surprised Google didn't help much, though. If Google tries to weight things to deemphasize loony crackpots, it's accused of censoring conservative speech.

Hoover came after the Progressive era, which roughly spanned 1890s - 1920s, and included republican and Democrat presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

Hoover was not really a progressive, and his major responses to the Great Depression involved austerity measures and trying to keep the government out of any direct relief efforts.

He was closer to a “small government” type than a progressive, who believed welfare was evil, and put together a cabinet of wealthy conservatives.

Not necessarily a bad president, but somewhat ineffectual, and unable to cope with the circumstances he found himself in. Maybe in another era, he would have left a better legacy.

Hoover blew the whistle;
Mellon rang the bell.
Wall Street gave the signal
and the country went to hell.

I told my mom. Don't listen to any bullcrap coming from facebook. I haven't been on facebook for a long time because I realize it's a manipulative platform.
