<p>Yeah, he lost the votes of a lot of democrats, especially in the south, because he was catholic. And while we’re on Hoover, I’ve got a pretty tough question (at least it was for me)</p>
<p>What President’s economic aid policy was similar to Hoover’s policy in the Reconstruction Finance Corporation? </p>
<p>No cheating :P</p>
<p>FDR? 10char</p>
<p>Nope. Let me know if you want the answer now.</p>
<p>Truman… If it’s not then tell me NAO. lol</p>
<p>Reagan. Reaganomics (supply side economics) was based on the “trickle down” of money after it was given to large corporations. Reconstruction Finance Corporation was the same thing.</p>
<p>Wait how’s it not FDR?</p>
<p>I don’t see how that works. Reagan’s policies were completely opposite of government aid to states.</p>
<p>Uh oh another Pinkstarcloud question.</p>
<p>“Damn the torpedoes”</p>
<p>Who is the author of the above quote?
(A) Henry Clay
(B) Stephen Decatur
(C) Alexander Hamilton
(D) Thomas Jefferson
(E) David Farragut</p>
<p>I haven’t looked at the answer but this is totally a random guess I think A??? It’s probably wrong take your guesses and I’ll tell you if you’re right.</p>
<p>Reagan gave tax cuts to the upper class, which means that wealth businesses and such had more money, which was supposed to “trickle down” to the lower classes. As far as its effectiveness, it simply wasn’t; and neither was the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, in the eyes of the Americans at the time.</p>
<p>Instead of giving money to large businesses, FDR’s policies tried to give direct relief to the population, instead of letting the money trickle down through businesses.</p>
<p>50/50 between B and E, so I’ll say E</p>
<p>EDIT:
Wow, I was right! Just looked it up.</p>
<p>^^It’s either B or E. It’s a quote from the Civil War when the Union was blockading some southern city. None of the other authors are from the right period and they’re all politicians anyways</p>
<p>Stephen Decatur was a naval officer in the Barbary Pirates issue</p>
<p>btw- the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was Hoover’s response to the recession/depression while he was still on office.</p>
<p>Yup it was E. Wow I fail. </p>
<p>Last one for today I swear.</p>
<p>Other presidents saw themselves as the leader of their parties. They saw their job to be that of a chief executive to carry out the laws of the land. It was Congress that made policy by passing laws.</p>
<p>All of the following were examples of that type EXCEPT
(A) Grover Cleveland
(B) Calvin Coolidge
(C) Ulysses S. Grant
(D) Herbert Hoover
(E) Benjamin Harrison</p>
<p>this thread is helping quite a bit. </p>
<p>somebody care to explain george wallace/white backlash?</p>
<p>^^ was it Harrison? with his billion dollar budget congress or something…I’m not sure.</p>
<p>I’m gonna guess and say B just because I remember that Coolidge struck down some pro-farmer laws.</p>
<p>That should be Cleveland I believe.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s A, Grover Cleveland.</p>
<p>Please explain! I feel lost</p>
