You may very well be right.
I wasn't making a partisan statement, just expressing my dismay at the destruction of food while people are going hungry. Today it manifests itself as the deterioration (and demoliton) of unoccupied houses while the streets are crawling with homeless. Whatever the cause, those are contradictions.
But now that you've brought it up, just what was the Hoover administration doing that would have stopped the Great Depression if FDR hadn't been elected?
