All the specific claims of fact in my post are basically indisputable.

"People needed food, FDR presided over a vast destruction of food. People needed lower prices, he had government agents go after people for discounting. People needed flexibility to run their businesses in different ways to respond to difficult conditions, FDR pushed more and more centralized government control of business activity." is all true beyond any reasonable doubt. All those things were done, and they where all harmful. Its also true that Hoover expanded government, and was more activist than any president before him.
