 EH.Net Encyclopedia: Reconstruction Finance Corporation
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) was established during the Hoover administration with the primary objective of providing liquidity to, and restoring confidence in the banking system.
RFC lending ended in 1953, and the corporation ceased operations in 1957, when all remaining assets were transferred to other government agencies.
RFC lending did not count toward budgetary expenditures, so the expansion of the role and influence of the government through the RFC was not reflected in the federal budget.

 Thomas James Norton: Undermining the Constitution: Chapter VII
In the report of the Corporation for 1948, the 17th year of operation, it is shown that $85,000,000 was held to meet "estimated losses in collection." If that estimate was calculated on the record of previous years, then its losses of the money of the taxpayers have been colossal.
And in the next month a corporation to which RFC had loaned $37,500,000 defaulted, was put in receivership by a Federal court in Columbus, Ohio, and at the receiver's sale the RFC made a bid of $6,000,000 more of the money of the taxpayers to get control of the assets of the borrower.
Following the Reconstruction Finance Corporation came the Tennessee Valley Authority, the first step in "the electrification of America," a string of loan banks and credit corporations, and many other corporations having not the remotest relation to the constitutional functioning of the Government of the United States.

Although central planning measures of the corporate state variety had manifested themselves vigorously but briefly in policymaking circles during and immediately after World War I, the Harding, Coolidge, and early Hoover years were supposed to be a return to prewar "normalcy," as the slogan associated with Harding's campaign had it.
The [RFC] bill was then modified to include the governor of the Federal Reserve Board as an ex-officio member [and chairman] of the RFC board of directors.
In no event does the council believe it proper to require member banks to furnish the funds needed for such a corporation without at the same time giving the member banks control of such a corporation for which they are to furnish the capital from out of their own resources.

As the financial situation worsened again in the second half of 1932, Hoover's congressional opponents argued for direct federal grants to states, municipalities, or individuals, but Hoover opposed all such programs, convinced that bolstering the nation's businesses was the only appropriate and effective role for the federal government.
The Emergency Relief Act of July 21, 1932, did authorize the rfc to lend nearly $300 million to states that had exhausted their own relief funds, but less than $30 million had been given out by the end of 1933.
