Today, in class, we got on the computers and we did some blog discussions.
The World War One Veterans marched to Washington D.C. while there was actually a bill introduced and they set up tents outside. The President, Herbert Hoover, actually gave them some food and water. Such hospitality. Despite their efforts, the Bill wasn't even passed. The bill was going to pay them for their services. This was the lowest point in Hoover's presidency.
Stock Prices were overpriced due to overspeculation. People wanted the stocks so badly that the prices went up higher than the actual cost of the company. Companies were making way too many products, but nobody was buying anything. This caused the companies to cut back on wages and lay off people.
Hoover also had a tariff that raised taxes on imported goods. He did this right after the stock market crashed. It was intended to help the US, but it actually hurt us as we lost foreign trade.
We got our topics for our project or some jazz like that
I got the FSA, or the Farm Security Administration.
It's the world's longest blog!
keep going
oh boy
DONE!
