Herbert Hoover actually did create some some spending increases, in response to the on-set of the Great Depression. By 1932, however: It was fairly late in happening.
Herbert Hoover Historical Federal Budget. Compare, reviews & ratings.
Like the Current Republican leadership intends, federal spenidng in 1930 and 1931 was fairly flat. In 1932 it finally went up. Unemployment was at 25% and more, with non-farm unemployment put as high as 37% and rising.
So there is the "spending" record of the Republican Party even before it was completely insane. 37% is now the level regarding acceptable, by board posters and GOP.
The Obama Administration levels at 9% and 15% are regarded unacceptable.
The Republicans clearly want spending back to 1930 levels, even again. That was a bad idea, even then. Smoot-Hawley was going to save them all!
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(In fact, even Prohibition was going to save them all!)
