yeah... it's sad when too many people could learn a lot from this one minute ad lib dronathon of bad teaching in a comedy film.Stop. You keep vomiting these quotes without responding to anything. Hoover raised taxes, doubled spending, passed bailouts, and passed the largest tariff in US history, crippling business and the free market. FDR called him a socialist because of it.Quaker Herbert Hoover actually famously relied heavily on volunteer efforts in the response to the downturn. The American Friends Service Committee as asked to coordinate relief efforts in several states. 1931 Federal Spending duplicated 1930 federal spending.
Usually, subsequent that experience, state and local governments have been helpful in economic recovery. They have not been helpful in this one. There would typically be 800,000 of those jobs created by now. There have instead been 500,000 job losses.

John Hughes told Ben Stein, who had a degree in Economics, to present an actual Economics lecture in his scenes. Hence nothing Ben Stein says (aside from the roll call) is scripted.
