"There is no history of Americans dying on the streets because they could not find food or basic medical assistance..."

What about the "Hooverville's" during the Great Depression? IIRC, scores of folks living on those shanty towns died because they couldn't get food or basic medical assistance.

No, they didn’t. The only increase in the mortality rates were from suicide.

I always thought “Hoovervilles” was a funny name. People love to blame someone, and Hoover was an easy mark.

It’s telling how the shanty towns predated Hoover and remained up through WWII, but they never became FDR’s. It’s sorta how the effects of FDR’s centralized agriculture policies became “the Dust Bowl”—like it was some “natural” occurrence.

The press and media has been working toward socialism since the 20s. If you want real history, read original source materials and nothing written after 1960.
