Herbert Hoover, was pretty much not realizing what he was doing, but saying the Country is doing better everyday, but really isn’t. The stock market bust of October 1929 caused the Great Depression while Herbert Hoover was President. The President was not realistic with his ideas about how to fix the problem of the Great Depression.
As you see; the pipes that are going to the sun, are fueling it, the outcome is not successful with the sun is getting fueled by peoples money. The person that is the snowman is stuck as a snowman because he is unemployed and can’t get money because of the economic bust. He is like a farmer in the Midwest suffering from the drought of the Dust Bowl.

this reminds me of how the goverment never really helps anyone. because when people are unemployed they cant pay bills. this also leads to people doing things that they dont wanna do but got to.

How could you say that the government never really helps anyone when the NEW DEAL of the 1930s was all about helping American citizens recover from the affects of the Great Depression?

Hey this was well written, heres something I learned about the dust bowl:
The Dust Bowl was the name given to the Great Plains region devastated by drought in 1930s depression-ridden America. The 150,000-square-mile area, encompassing the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles and neighboring sections of Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, has little rainfall, light soil, and high winds, a potentially destructive combination.

The American Farmer was the “canary in the coal mine” when it came to the dangers of a slowing economy in the 1920s. They were already hurting when the Stock Market Crash of 1929 triggered the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Dust Bowl made it even worse for farmers.

I think the people should be blamed just as much as Hoover.

Which people would you blame? who had the power at the time? American Bankers and Business owners?

This is a great expample of how herbert hoover thought he was doing a good job with the economy while leaving the unemployed and farmers to suffer in a recession and the federal gov’t controlled all the funds.

Everybody seemed to be blaming Hoover when I don’t think it really was all his fault. It’s the people too.

Which people? Why does a President get blamed so easily?
