In this episode, Kara continues her investigation of the Great Depression. In the Great Depression Part 1, Kara dug into the various factors that caused the Great Depression such as:

• Over using or extending credit
• The Dust Bowl of the Midwest (check out The Dustbowl Fire - Episode 48 for more.
• The stock market crashing in 1929
• And so much more!

In this episode, a newly elected Herbert Hoover inherits a thriving economy in 1928 and what was looking like four more years of a thriving nation. However, by 1930, everything had imploded. Hoover had to pull the nation out of this economic and political quagmire. In this episode Kara is going to talk about:

• Hoover's philosophies on what Americans need to do to fix things
• What happens when politically things don't go according plan
• What happens when thousands of WWI vets don't get paid and Hoover uses the military ON those vets
• How Hoover treated WWI vets and influence on his reelection campaign of 1932 
• Lastly, who takes Hoover's place and why

Kara is brining her A-game in this episode and there's a lot to it. So sit back, relax, and be grateful that you're not Herbert Hoover!
