re: Why Hoover gets a bum rap on "Causing the depression"

Had the poor SOB been listened to, the Depression would have been a recession.

Instead, the morons in Congress (Republican I might add!) Caused a trade war that led to a world wide depression.

McCain isn't as smart as Hoover, and the Congress is just as stupid as ever.
