The government represented by president Hoover in the fall of 1929, responded to the Great Depression; wide spreading unemployment during the 1930s and exacerbating an already difficult situation. The government spent millions of dollars on various relief programs. Most, however, were ineffective. Dole rations, for example, were heavily policed and much too small to live on; land settlement also ended in failure. At the same time the government increased relief spending, it also contributed to the crisis by laying off employees and making cuts to health care, education, and other social programs.

A President can employ a number of strategies to ensure the successful confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee.
The first is a careful and intense vetting process beforehand to ensure that there are no hidden traps that might derail the nomination.
The second is to employ a legislative "sherpa" to introduce the nominee around the Senate. This is often a former senator who has excellent relations with the other senators and who can vouch for the character and background of the nominee before the Senate.
