Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Great Depression, President Hoover incorrectly called for an increase in taxes. This only worsened the economic situation as people had less money to spend and businesses struggled. It was actually President Franklin D. Roosevelt who later implemented policies such as the New Deal to help stimulate the economy during this time.
