to fast forward to herbert hoover people might be surprised to learn that hoover wanted to have some private moments when he was president and he didn't want the staff to see him and he didn't want to see them. he would insist when he heard his footsteps and heard him coming they would hide from him so that no matter what they were doing and there were cases where the staff would tell stories about the president is coming. they would open the closet door to hide from him and there would be somebody in there with a tray of glasses and linens just hiding from the president, but that's the way he wanted when harry truman took over, his reaction was why are these people peeping at me from behind the bushes? what is that all about? [laughter] he said have them go about their business and then the system started to go back to the week that it had been when eisenhower took over with his reaction was again typical of eisenhower. he said why doesn't anybody do any worker of here? weigel i see anybody working? the point was they were trying to hide from the president and he said well, i want p

herbert hoover increased the federal budget 60% in just four years. he ended up by taking the federal income tax rate from 25% of the way up to 63%. and the result was the depression of the 1930's. all that franklin roosevelt did is amplify a double down on those policies. the similarities between those terrible years and the administrations of george w. bush and barack obama are pretty striking. it was george w. bush will increase federal spending by a full 2% of gdp. remember, bill clinton reduced by 4%. it was bush who drove that spending through the roof, produced massive budget deficits and all barack obama has done is take those mistakes and amplify and double down on them and needlessly prolong and deepen the recession. host: kentucky on our line for republicans. doris, you are on "washington journal." caller: i have a question about -- since our government is and process may be of shutting down, i don't understand why -- i don't know what the man's name is offhand, i am an older person -- why he said it this morning that we are going to have t
