19. You have to separate the stock market crash from the depression.

The economic conditions that led to the crash were all on the GOP. I've said it about every economic crash: Republicans are NOT economists, they are ideologues. They run the economy based on their flawed ideology. Republican economic ideas fail every time for the majority in this country. The reaction to the 1929 crash was all on Hoover. His solution was to stop spending money. This made the depression so much worse and last a lot longer. I'd say the majority of it was political.
