today is october 28 1929, also known as black monday. The stock market has crashed, I have a feeling its only going to get worse.
1929
My name is Franklin D. Roosevelt, I have just been elected president and things around this country need to change!!
1932
THERE HAVE BEEN BIG DUST STORMS ALL AROUND THE GREAT PLAINS! DID OUR OVERPRODUCTION OF CROPS CAUSE THAT? ARE WE THE REASON FOR THE GREAT DEPRESSION?
we have been buying everything on credit and now we are going into a lot of debt.
We set our tariffs to high and now the other countries have done the same! are we the reason for the great depression?
These are all causes of the great depression!!
We tried but it was too late we have failed to act....
we have been gambling on stocks and now were in debt! Am I a reason for the great depression?
FDR:We disagree, we think that we need the government's help to get the country out of this depression.
HOOVER:I originally believed this depression would only last 6 months... but it hasn't. Unfortunately, the government cannot solve the depression. So I will do as little as I can to solve it, solve it yourself.
