Herbet Hoover and FDR were very different. Hoover felt that it wasn't the government's obligation to help the poor. However, FDR was all about getting involved and helping (which led to his creation of The New Deal). Hoover was all about a hands-off government where FDR was hands on. Hoover blamed the economic slum on foreign countries where FDR felt the origin of the Great Depression had no relevance.

Contrary to the popular thought, Hoover didn't accept any payment at all whilst in office, but he believed that the economy would fix itself and he also didn't want the gov't do everything for the people or they would become dependant on it. FDR created work programs and got people moving. He also ran the US into serious debt but for the people.
