I'm not much of a fan of Hoover. Mainly because of his handling of the crash and how he should have know better. Calvin Coolidge kept taxes low and held spending which had a positive effect on the economy. Hoover was his Commerce Secretary and did the exact opposite as President. He got bad results and a broken economy. FDR didn't recover the economy, he was dead and Truman was President when the economy recovered. Some would even give credit to the Congress of the time for cutting taxes and removing price controls.

Calvin Coolidge remarked on Hoover "for six years that man has given me unsolicited advice—all of it bad.".
