I have Bush in D tier instead of F tier because of his work with PEPFAR (AIDS) and the Presidential (malaria). As of 2023, PEPFAR has saved over 25 million lives and PMI is estimated to have prevented "185 million malaria cases and nearly 1 million deaths between 2005 and 2017. Globally, malaria mortality fell by more than 60% between 2000 and 2015. The presence of a PMI program in a country has also been associated with a significant reduction in all-cause under-5 child mortality." So good job GWB!(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5697814 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5469567) 

I also have Hoover very high relative to what is "normal" for him. Hoover is overhated/underrated in my opinion. His response to the GD was wrong, but he did have a response. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation set a good precedent for the federal programs that would come over the next decade, especially in mobilizing for World War 2, especially in the navy through building destroyers and ships through the Emergency Relief and Construction Act, a $2 billion expansion of the RFC, and according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, "the government’s first major involvement in the housing field. The RFC was authorized to make loans to private corporations providing housing for low-income families." Furthermore, public works acts such as the Hoover Dam and Boulder Canyon (even though this mainly was started when he was Sec of Interior). Hoover was instrumental in passing the [Glass–Steagall Act of 1932](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Act_of_1932), which allowed for prime rediscounting at the Federal Reserve, in turn allowing further inflation of credit and bank reserves. Another great thing about his administration was Hoover’s commissioner of Indian Affairs (Charles J. Rhoads), who along with VP Charles Curtis, scaled back forced assimilation and boarding schools, and began supporting tribal autonomy and improved healthcare, setting the stage for the Indian Reorganization Act (1934) (which ended allotment and recognized tribal governments). So yeah, good job Hoover!
