Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hoover was a Republican. America had entered into the worst depression of its history. The Republicans didn't think it proper to interfere with the Economic process although he personally thought something needed to be done.

Roosevelt had no such qualms. He started the ball rolling on spending borrowed money (spending on projects for which there was no money). He helped. He was a man for the people. His wife (Elanor) felt exactly the same way, She certainly didn't hurt him.
