“Hoover Hogs” were armadillos eaten by the poor during the Depression; others ate jackrabbits, also known as “Hoover Hogs”

“Hoover Heaters”

“Hoover Flags”

Hoover’s Fate is Sealed July 1932 – Hoover directed General Douglas MacArthur to drive out the Bonus Army camped in Washington DC MacArthur and George Patton used cavalry, tanks, and bayonet-bearing soldiers with tear gas to forcibly remove the vets, women, and children, burning their shacks.
