Smoot-Hawley
That’s legislation. I’m talking about their mindset and attitude towards the unemployed and hungry. Smoot-Hawley was bad legislation no doubt but not done because its writers were out of touch assholes who had no idea what the average American was going through. Thy wrongly thought protectionism was a solution- it was not.
