Love of Monday is the Root of All Evil

Not a lot of people know what a bad rap Herbert Hoover has gotten.  He had the misfortune of being President when the Great Depression began.  But before that, during World Was I, called The Great Was at that time, Germany had invaded Belgium and left it in ruins.  People were homeless and starving.  And Herbert Hoover, long before he was president, organized a great relief effort for the innocent civilians of Belgium, who had been caught up in a war that was not their fault.  Hoover contributed much of his own fortune to the effort.

What a contrast to a current very rich man who happens to be president and claims he can't help the people of Puerto Rico.

Reminds me of an old saying, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
