e wanted to make sure that the programs that he provided money for wouldnt be a waste and would definitely work. Hoover didnt want to spend anymore money than he had to. Hoover really didnt want to raise the national debt no matter what. Roosevelt did whatever it took no matter what the cost. Money was no object to Hoover, as long as he thought that program or agency could have a chance of getting them through the Depression he took a gamble on it and raised the national debt. Hoover made sure that there was enough hard money to back up the paper money in America while Roosevelt played it risky and printed extra money. Hoover and Roosevelts policies were extremely dissimilar and they each viewed relief from the Depression very differently....
