Your grievance against Hoover's response to depression is understandable but blind to magnitudes.
Yes, Hoover did create many of the programs that FDR rolled with. But under Hoover's government they were all very small.
I understand that there are some people, probably even yourself, who adopt a "size matters not" attitude with regards to government programs, but, well, that's irrational absolutism, and we're never going to agree on that.
