@UncleMike NJ. You obviously have no understanding of economics nor of the powers of the presidency. First of all, a president cannot "cut unemployment", spending, or anything else with the economy. That role goes to Congress, who sets the federal budgets and spending. More than a few economists and historians now argue that federal spending actually prolonged the Great Depression. What bailed us out? World War 2. It is always a good idea to know something before spouting off. Good luck.
Wasn't Coolidge the president during Prohibition and the criminal Enterprises that profited from the illegal sales of alcohol. Sales that boosted the economy and gave Coolidge Two Terms for being able to managed the roaring economy of that period.
@Baltimoreman78 Bootleggers did not pay taxes and prohibition did not boost the economy. Al Capone was arrested for not paying his taxes, Prohibition was repealed during the Great Depression so that government could once again boost revenue off of alcohol sales. That is the actual history.
FDR's policies deepened and extended the great depression. The recession that president Harding and VP Coolidge inherited was far more severe than the crash in 1929. The reason it's not a historically profound event because the steps taken by Harding and coolidge brought the economy back... FDR and Hoover took similar steps that our brilliant Keynesian current president with the same results.
@soma187 Bullshit. FDR cut unemployment in half when Hoover was too cowardly to do so. Then in 1937, FDR did exactly what you right-wing maniacs are always telling us to do: He cut spending, and THAT caused another downturn. He figured it out and stopped it. Conservatism doesn't work!
@UncleMikeNJ We needed someone like FDR back then... he started a lot of good programs for people... but he did extend the depression... Unknown to him he had a lot of pro-communists as advisers.
@UncleMikeNJ Henry Morgenthau, who was the Secretary of the Treasury under Roosevelt, told his fellow Democrats in 1939: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work." Doesn't sound to me like FDR tried a lot of "conservatism," which you don't even know what it is. Study history before you write and you'll find out what really happened in the GD and why it lasted so long. FDR knew absolutely nothing about economics. He was disaster.
@mklewis929 The quote goes on to say, "We have never begun to tax the people in this country the way they should be....We have never begun to tax the people. I don't pay what I should. People of my class don't. People who have it should pay." He was saying that spending money requires raising revenues as well. He didn't think they were giving enough benefits. Actually research the whole history, even the parts you don't like. Out of context works for the intellectually weak.
@UncleMikeNJ When you draft 10 million Americans into a war, the unemployment rate will obviously lower, 13th Amendment violations notwithstanding. Keynesian economists were predicting a depression in 1946 when the troops would come home, but we had robust growth in that year.
It would be hard to tell what the 1918 flu did to the economy without a control group. I have to believe losing 1/4 of the worlds population affected it greatly.
@PatriotConservative1 FDR wasn't bad, just overrated. Clinton, with the exception of having contempt for the rule of law, was a decent president. LBJ was just LBJ. As to Carter and Obama, I'm with you.
@PatriotConservative1 Are you actually so biased that you think George Walker Bush was a greater president than Franklin Delano Roosevelt?!? No wonder everyone hates America, I bet Fox News loves you...
First of all, this isn't funny. Second of all, why not pick a BAD President to mock? Calvin Coolidge was one of the finest Presidents we have ever had the fortune of having.
Check back when you pop open a REAL history book. Not the trash that the public schools rammed down our throats. You may want to start with how Harding and Coolidge solved the original "Great Depression" in 1920 following Wilson's fascist policies that lead to the nose dive of the US economy. Grow up kiddo, it's time to release yourself from the Matrix.
@DeadlyRadiance Release myself from the Matrix... interesting. As for Harding and Coolidge doing anything really, I still don't agree with you. Harding I liked, he just wasn't exactly ready for the presidency and he knew it. Coolidge I'm also fine with as any president who doesn't just kill children and burn forests like the politics of today is alright in my book.
Wilson's policies did not lead to the recession. It is a historical fact that after a war, a recession happens. And you will respond to this comment by " well harding cut wilson's big government spending." But know that from the 1919 budget to the 1920 budget was cut by 66% brom 18 billion to 6billion, while harding's budget in 1921 only cut spending 1 billion...... So Wilson cut more.
@MrInvisiblepotato I didn't realize that a set of early on "Reagonomic" policies that formed the greatest income disparity in U.S history and created a economic bubble, only to pop while his secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoove was President- who used the EXACT same policies until the market crashed.- counted as someone being a good President. A good man, sure. A good President while he was in office, why not. But Coolidges policies are what started the great depression in the long run.
@chowfun18 Coolidge was an excellent President. He knew the purpose of government and he knew the purpose of business and he let them both function reasonably efficiently. He made one huge mistake--he didn't push for the abolition of the Federal Reserve, which was the major cause of the GD via its artificial inflating of the economy, a lesson not learned in the last decade, which is the major cause of the current recession.
@MrInvisiblepotato He was and is a disaster. Read not just our nations own recalling about Calvin but that of other nations, including Great Britain and Canada.
I can get more entrainment out of watching a 15 year old, empty, rotting cereal box. Coolidge was one of the USA's best presidents and you should not make fun of him. You should be ashamed of yourself making a mockery of one of the best presidents.
Im done, I have fucking better things to do then wast time WITH A LIBERAL WHO LEARNS ECONOMICS FROM A CEREAL BOX. I BET YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW BAD OUR DEBT IS. China owns most our debt. IF WE GOT RID OF 60% of government bureaucracies , we'd save TRILLIONS. You will be PAYING FOR IT IN the next SEVERAL years anyway.
Some Presidents and convention speakers have tended to also look at the camera while reading their speech notes. Coolidge, however, isn't doing that at all. It's like he can't remember what he wrote. He was a dimwit.
Communist regimes have engaged in mass killings on a scale of millions of individuals.In communist North Korea, abuse and killing in prison camps is occurring today.The atheism in communist regimes has been and continues to be militant atheism and various acts of repression including the razing of thousands of religious buildings and the killing, imprisoning, and oppression of religious leaders and believers.
Life in the USSR modeled the socialist ideal. God-based religion was suppressed and replaced with cultlike adoration for political figures....Only the ruling class of communist leaders had access to special stores, medicine and accommodations that could compare to those in the West. The rest of the citizenry had to deal with permanent shortages of food and other necessities, and had access to free but inferior, unsanitary and low-tech medical care.
Capitalist societies also generally have higher standards of living compared to their non-capitalist counterparts in terms of per capita GDP, education, healthcare, and poverty rates. China, for instance, has been growing extremely prosperous since it began opening its economy to capitalism in the 1980s.
FDR's New Deal was a danger to trusts (where a lot of people put there money to preserve it for there family) ,He ALSO put Japanese people in prison camps with there families (that's constitutional ?),you liberals live in the "perfect world utopia".
Economist Milton Friedman points out the Federal Reserve Board did not do what it was created to do -- act as lender of last resort to keep the money supply from shrinking -- which caused the banking crisis.
In the last weeks of his term, Hoover faced a desperate crisis of confidence as uncertain investors sought reassurance that the new administration would defend the gold standard. On February 17, 1933, the president wrote president-elect Roosevelt, seeking assurances that Roosevelt would balance the budget, combat inflation, and halt publication of loans made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Roosevelt, sensing that his discredited predecessor was trying to tie his hands, kept silent.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, was not sure what to do, so he tried many different things at once. The "First New Deal" in 1933 enacted programs to deal with deflation, unemployment relief, the banking crisis, the farm crisis, international trade, and the overall economic malaise. The "Second Mew Deal" of 1934-35 involved a shift to the left, promoting labor unions, enacting Social Security, and nationalizing relief.
Enforcement of the Antitrust Act was considered as an essential instrument to prevent cartels and trusts and combinations in restraint of trade which were supposed to be deadly to the system of free enterprise. During the fall election of 1932, Franklin Roosevelt called for strict enforcement of the Antitrust Act as part of his proposed New Deal. Yet immediately upon Roosevelt's election enforcement was suspended in order to cartelize every industry in America on the Italian corporative model.
Cooledge was a good president that everybody forgot about, like how people forgot about Reagan , George Washinton, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.No one realizes that it was Cooledge who promoted business in the mid 20's. FDR did not stop Great Depression, for years, the Federal Department of Education has been telling us that lie. FDR and Hoover both Initiated the Recesssion, there was nothing great about them.
Hoover & Roosevelt (Purlposefully) Initiated the Great Depressiion. Would have had the downturn ten yarn early but fer Silent Cal and his Laissez Faire. ..only workable model to date..or would you have Keynes (Retard).
@424werter it wasnt done purposely. thats conspiracy bullcrap, you cant purposely do that?! thats the stupidest post ever. then again, this is the stupidest video ever
@424werter He most certainly WAS NOT. His careless laissez-faire policies slowly drove America into the Great Depression. Historians have given him low ranks because of his dopey policies
Im sure those historians worked for the Department of Education, they ranked Calvin C. low ,because he did not suit the GOVERNMENTs interest ,FDR made the recession worse, he created all these government programs that did not do anything, FDR also created short term jobs and put Japanese people in prison camps. Calvin C. cut taxes , which promoted business and innovation and made us neutral to forgiven policy.
@burnziescholar YOU LIVE IN COMPLETE FANTASY SHIT-BRAIN. SPEAKING OF EDUCATION, YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH MUCH IN SCHOOL AT ALL. FDR HELPED AMERICA GREATLY WITH HIS NEW DEAL PROGRAMS AND WAS ABLE TO GIVE MANY UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS WORK AGAIN. THE ONLY TIME HE EVER BROUGHT AMERICA INTO ANOTHER RECESSION WAS WHEN HE FOCUSED ON BALANCING THE BUDGET IN 1937; STATISTICS WILL TELL YOU UNEMPLOYMENT WAS NEARLY AS HIGH AS IT WAS WHEN HE STARTED OFFICE AND HIS RECESSION FADED BY THE END OF 1938.
@burnziescholar Spell foreign policy correctly, too. COOLIDGE ABSOLUTELY SUCKED AT FOREIGN POLICY AS WELL. HE WITHDREW THE TROOPS FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC TOO SOON AND MISHANDLED INTERVENTION IN NICARAGUA AND HAITI.
FIRST OF ALL , FDR did not get us out of a recession , Many economists believe that government spending on the war caused or at least accelerated recovery from the Great Depression. However, it did not play a very large role in the recovery, although it did help in reducing unemployment.
@hulkyone Taking away guns is not going to reduce violence, people will just get them illegally, its also the 2nd amendment ,that's also a totalitarianism.
When the Democrats got control of Congress, in 2007,
$10.7 trillion by December 2008.Under President Barack Obama, the debt increased from $10.7 trillion to $14.2 trillion by February 2011 I have not seen a liberal cut ONE pet project they did not like.
@burnziescholar Yeah, AND BUSH SIGNED IT INTO LAW. OBAMA IS ALSO A TYPICAL CHICAGO DEAL-MAKER. HE HAS DONE A LOT OF THINGS TO ENCOURAGE REPUBLICANS TO VOTE FOR HIM, LIKE HAVING A REAGAN STATUE PUT IN THE CAPITAL ROTUNDA DURING HIS FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE. PAUL KRUGMAN, THE LIBERAL PRO-KEYNESIAN ECONOMIST WHO DID THE BEST JOB PREDICTING THE RECESSION, HAS BEEN A STAUNCH CRITIC OF OBAMA'S POLICIES, SUCH AS MAKING THE STIMULUS PACKAGE NOT ONLY A PROVIDER OF MAILED CHECKS, BUT ALSO A MAJOR TAX CUT.
@burnziescholar YOU DON'T THINK IT WAS NECCESSARY TO SPEND A LOT MONEY TO FIGHT A WAR FOR SURVIVAL AND NECESSARY JOB-CREATING PROGRAMS GIVEN TO AMERICA THROUGH ROOSEVELT'S NEW DEAL? LOL
Government programs DONT CONTRIBUTE TO GDP, WE are not producing GDP, Plus THOSE JOBS ARE GIVEN TO GOVERNMENT UNIONS, GOVERNMENT WORKERS WHO GET A LOT OF BENEFITs FROM TAXPAYER MONEY, VARIOUS COMPANIES BY THE WAY made the weapons , NOT THE GOVERNMENT, CONTRACTS.
Other countries were hurt much worse in this sector. Governments expecting the downturn to be short at first increased spending on public works, but soon ran out of money.
Tax revenues for national, state and local governments fell sharply. Governments raised tax rates, which made it worse. Mortgages were foreclosed at record rates.
@burnziescholar It amazing how stupid shit-heads like you amuse me and distract my typing. HELL, I'VE HAD TO ALREADY REMOVE THREE COMMENTS THAT HAD GRAMMAR ERRORS BECAUSE LAUGHING AT BULLSHIT COMMENTS DISTRACTED ME
@hulkyone GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS DO NOT PRODUCE ANY PRIVET SECTOR JOBS, YOU STUPID Idiot You ARE STILL missing the point , PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS ARE NOT PART of the ECONOMY, THEY DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO GDP, TELL ME WHAT DOSE government make that people use? NOTHING , ITS ALL MADE by companies, Government dose not CONTRIBUTE to GDP at All.
@burnziescholar Oh,I'm so offended by your big tough guy talk. LOL. SPELL MAKES AND YOU'RE CORRECTLY AND LEARN GRAMMAR SKILLS. YOU OBVIOUS NEVER GOT GOOD ENOUGH GRADES TO GET A WELL PAID JOB.
@burnziescholar Do research, YOU STUPID SHIT-HEAD. ROOSEVELT'S PROGRAMS ENDED THE RECESSION PART OF THE DEPRESSION; A RECESSION IS WHEN GDP SHRINKS. BY 1935, WHILE THE JOB MARKET DIDN'T RECOVER, THE GDP RETURNED TO LEVELS IT WAS DURING THE ROARING TWENTIES. 1936 ALSO SAW THE GDP GROW 14% AND REACH THE HIGHEST LEVEL EVER AT THE TIME. THE ONLY FOOLISH MISTAKE ROOSEVELT MADE DURING THE DEPRESSION WAS WHEN HE TRIED TO TAKE A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND FOCUS ON BALANCING THE BUDGET IN 1937.
@hulkyone actually the reason the GDP seemed to rise under Roosevelt was ultimately due to a mandatory closure of banks that he imposed in 1933. With the banks closed, no one could withdraw any money, although money was made available to the extent that it did not place a strain on financial institutions. I dare any president of today to try doing the same thing, if only we could refrain from being so selfish about our own money and come together for the sake of our country.
can and should stimulate economic growth and REGULATE the economy.....Calvin Coolidge tried to institute classical economics, which in theory is good but in practice always seems to create a plutocracy; and such policy helped lead to the Great Depression. Coolidge tried to do what was best, but his economic policy was, in retrospect, a dismal failure. Feel free to message me with any comments if you want, I will be happy to answer them. :)
(cont.) 2.) Government programs do NOT take money out of the economy; it merely distributes to differently. A simple circular flow chart would demonstrate this, as well as a basic knowledge of economics. 3.) Tell me of one law which REALLY restricts people's freedom that has been passed in Congress (and not the Health Care Bill...i will cal you out on that BS as well). The truth is, Keynesian Economic principles (which have a much better track record in usage than supply-side) say the government
in response to the comment above (the highest-rated one) I would just like to point out that 1.) Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt started many programs and instituted many laws that were seen as restrictive in their day (e.g. programs like the Freedman's Bureau and the CCC; laws like the Emancipation Proclamation(seen as taking away southern rights). The fact is, great leaders are appreciated in retrospect for what they DO. So please do not make such an erroneous claim.
Definitely sounds reversed. If you think this is real try playing the video without looking at the captions, the only thing I could make out was "tissue committee." The rest is an unintelligible mess.
Coolidge was absolutely a good president because of the complete lack of what he did. Coolidge believed in the FREE MARKET and the roaring 1920s was the result. I am absolutely against laws against big corporations and raising taxes on the rich because the corporations and the rich are the ones that give jobs not poor people. This is what our incompetent socialist president doesn't get among many other things.
@crazyinsanepanda101 I'd be tentative to inquire into what you think socialism is, because if you think it is a liberal-leaning president of the most capitalist nation in the world, that just elucidates your mental vacuity. Keep carping and perseverating about small gov't be the panacea but all that engenders is an unadulterated, unfettered aristocracy. There will be no diversity of wealth but merely a profusion in the top 2% that will manacle and hamstring the proles from living a better life.
@zmp1689. So you believe in redistribution of wealth? Which I think Obama believes firmly in redistribution of wealth with his whole raising taxes on those who make over $250k a year.
@crazyinsanepanda101 I don't see that as germane to the topic, Obama is merely trying to galvanize the economy with $700 billion of revenue over the next decade. Why should the patrician aristocrats of the most laissez-faire corporatocracy be bestowed another disencumbrance when this revenue could be invested into jobs for the middle class. I will never fathom the craven argument of defending to the hilt the most opulent of this nation, but I guess I am not in an astroturf movement.
@zmp1689 uh it's easy to defend the so-called "opulent of this nation" because we have this thing called property rights. if you didn't earn it, if you didn't make it then it isn't yours. no one is entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor.
Apparently, nobody realized what a f*cking retard you are. This isn't his speech at all. You can view the actual speech in its entirety here: watch?v=5puwTrLRhmw
Calvin Coolidge was the last great Jeffersonian President in the history of our nation. He slashed taxes by 40% which actually increased revenue by 160 million dollars. He left the people alone and even fought for civil rights. He curbstomped the income tax and sh*t on Wilson's Sedition Act. per capita income rose 30% & production 70%
@Hallonsylt And if you play "Million Dollar Babies" backward, you can hear Alice Cooper saying "Captain Caveman ate the gerbils". It's a conspiracy, I tell you....
If Obama said "Thank you Satan!", FORWARDS you wouldn't hear that either, I'll bet. Conspiracy denying is exactly what the Jews did in Germany who didn't get out in time. So enjoy your smugness, while it lasts.
You are a fool who can't see the Emperor has no clothes. Worship at his feet, and chant "Yes we can!", and never ask youself, -yes we can...what??, while he stares down at you with his best Mussolini pose and explains to you his demands on you - and laughs at you chanting for Satan.What kind of BS propaganda is that anyway, chanting like Hitler's crowd did "Heil Hitler"?It's so sad people can see - the guys biggest contributors were Goldman Sachs employees f gods sakes.
@Hallonsylt You know, I never once mentioned my political affiliation yet since I spar with you a bit you automatically assume I am an Obama follower. That's how you people work: if I do not agree with you, therefore I must be "the other guy". Well, there is a third group, and this is the one which I affiliate with: the group that finds ALL politicians equally full of shit, and find people who liken the ones they do not like to "Satan" as over the top and comically fanatic.
@lothartheterrible Thats ok though, but the point is u dont know it all and therefore u shouldnt be so smug as to deny the possibility of strange goings on behind the seens, because ur closed mind will never allow u to see the real truth about these full of shit politicians- that they really are freaky little satanists- and that's why they are laughing and joking why the country and world is turning to shit at their hands.
@Hallonsylt Heh...My "closed mind"; that's really funny. If you weren't so amusing, that would probably tick me off. But ya know what? You can have this one; I concede. I learned a long time a go that nutters aren't rational therefore a debate with one is unwinnable and pointless. So I leave you with the proud knowledge that you win, and me with the knowledge that I'm fairly certain that I have had much more contact with the opposite sex than you have. Cheers!
@lothartheterrible How lost you are, you are you blind fool. You will hear 1000 times more real debate, and in depth analysis on a conspiracy radio program than you will ever here on a CNN or BBC. What is irrational to refuse to acknowledge the influence of the occult. Watch as the world collapses into world government run by bankers such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, taxing you into poverty, precisely as the "nutters" have predicted for decades. And I get nookie too, stud.
I'm not really sure what about the Federal Reserve and the income tax caused the Great Depression. The Great Depression was caused by the overproduction of industry without the rise in wages which would have allowed labor the purchasing power to pay for this overproduction. Coolidge's refusal to back labor in any way shape or form spelled the doom of the economy.
Coolidge here is simply doing a sound test. This is not an actual speech. It sounds like the sound test failed. Coolidge was a great president. Great Presidents are great, because of what they did NOT do. They do not start trillion dollar programs that take money out of the economy, or pass a multitude of laws, which oppress people's freedom and free enterprise. Great Presidents protect the constitution, and veto acts of congress that take away our liberties. The less gov't, the better.
@ericso333 Are you retarded? Coolidge was the main reason for the 1929 market clash. Hoover only was in fault for not being able to fix it.
And to say that passing new laws is bad shows a nule knowledge of history. Are you saying that in your opinion we should still be living by 18th century laws, and the proletarian masses opressed with 5 dolar payday? progressists have saved capitalism and free market, conservatives like coolidge are the reason for its almost fall.
@bobsanders222 Coolidge was not the main reason, Wilson sold the U.S. to the Rothchilds in form of the Federal Reserve, and since that time no President has been able to restore the power to the people. and the President that tried, Died. President John F. Kennedy issued "Executive Order 11110" a little over 5 months later Pres. Kennedy was assasinated. Ponder that for a moment.
@ericso333 this wasn't a sound tes, ive seen the actual speech, this is just him being played backwards, and I must agree with you on those points that you just made.
That's why countries that have always had less government, especially today, the people are not as fortunate as other people in countries with larger government.
@AbyssCrown less government isnt the answer. it simply means that there is less control over the wealthy who would rather be there own government. theres nothing wrong with large government if it works. the wealthy dont want that. they want to have as little gov. as possible so they can have move leeway and control. look what happened in 2008 when the economy melted down. that was because of little gov. allowing the greed of corp execs to cheat and steal. see my point??
@ericso333 If you have'nt already come across Ivan Eland,you should view one of his youtube videos or better yet read his book," Recarving Rushmore ". He totally turns the art of presidential evaluation on its head. Presidents like Lincoln and the 2 Roosevelt are placed by Eland on the bottom whereas presidents like Van Buren, Cleveland,Coolidge,etc are higher up on the greatness list.
someone said that Hoover abolished it, but then I found that he just renamed it the Kleenex Commitee after forming a lucrative trading agreement with Poland.

Harding I liked, he just wasn't exactly ready for the presidency and he knew it. Coolidge I'm also fine with as any president who doesn't just kill children and burn forests like the politics of today is alright in my book.

Wilson's policies did not lead to the recession. It is a historical fact that after a war, a recession happens. And you will respond to this comment by " well harding cut wilson's big government spending." But know that from the 1919 budget to the 1920 budget was cut by 66% brom 18 billion to 6billion, while harding's budget in 1921 only cut spending 1 billion...... So Wilson cut more.

@MrInvisiblepotato I didn't realize that a set of early on "Reagonomic" policies that formed the greatest income disparity in U.S history and created a economic bubble, only to pop while his secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoove was President- who used the EXACT same policies until the market crashed.- counted as someone being a good President. A good man, sure. A good President while he was in office, why not. But Coolidges policies are what started the great depression in the long run.

@chowfun18 Coolidge was an excellent President. He knew the purpose of government and he knew the purpose of business and he let them both function reasonably efficiently. He made one huge mistake--he didn't push for the abolition of the Federal Reserve, which was the major cause of the GD via its artificial inflating of the economy, a lesson not learned in the last decade, which is the major cause of the current recession.

In the last weeks of his term, Hoover faced a desperate crisis of confidence as uncertain investors sought reassurance that the new administration would defend the gold standard. On February 17, 1933, the president wrote president-elect Roosevelt, seeking assurances that Roosevelt would balance the budget, combat inflation, and halt publication of loans made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Roosevelt, sensing that his discredited predecessor was trying to tie his hands, kept silent.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, was not sure what to do, so he tried many different things at once. The "First New Deal" in 1933 enacted programs to deal with deflation, unemployment relief, the banking crisis, the farm crisis, international trade, and the overall economic malaise. The "Second Mew Deal" of 1934-35 involved a shift to the left, promoting labor unions, enacting Social Security, and nationalizing relief.

Enforcement of the Antitrust Act was considered as an essential instrument to prevent cartels and trusts and combinations in restraint of trade which were supposed to be deadly to the system of free enterprise. During the fall election of 1932, Franklin Roosevelt called for strict enforcement of the Antitrust Act as part of his proposed New Deal. Yet immediately upon Roosevelt's election enforcement was suspended in order to cartelize every industry in America on the Italian corporative model.

@burnziescholar Do research, YOU STUPID SHIT-HEAD. ROOSEVELT'S PROGRAMS ENDED THE RECESSION PART OF THE DEPRESSION; A RECESSION IS WHEN GDP SHRINKS. BY 1935, WHILE THE JOB MARKET DIDN'T RECOVER, THE GDP RETURNED TO LEVELS IT WAS DURING THE ROARING TWENTIES. 1936 ALSO SAW THE GDP GROW 14% AND REACH THE HIGHEST LEVEL EVER AT THE TIME. THE ONLY FOOLISH MISTAKE ROOSEVELT MADE DURING THE DEPRESSION WAS WHEN HE TRIED TO TAKE A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND FOCUS ON BALANCING THE BUDGET IN 1937.
hulkyone 8 months ago
@hulkyone actually the reason the GDP seemed to rise under Roosevelt was ultimately due to a mandatory closure of banks that he imposed in 1933. With the banks closed, no one could withdraw any money, although money was made available to the extent that it did not place a strain on financial institutions. I dare any president of today to try doing the same thing, if only we could refrain from being so selfish about our own money and come together for the sake of our country.

Laws do not require big government. Everyone's for having police at the local, city, and state levels.

Why? Because a large majority of government officials at the top COME FROM CORPORATIONS. Du'h.
