Where is everyone #5

There’s overwhelming evidence that first Hoovers then FDR’s policies absolutely made it worse. You can certainly find people that will praise him but they’re far outnumbered by those who don’t and the facts are against him.

 

Your fastest response time all year.

 

We went on a tour of FDR‘s house, and his wife’s property nearby. The people that work there praise the hell out of them, but it’s like laughable how obvious the flaws in those plans were. And what they lead to. Makes me think of that saying, about how the pigs always vote for the farmer even though he’s the one that’s going to slaughter them.

 

Most of the financial problems we have now stem from that era. Coolidge had a far better approach to the economy but he was dismissed by propaganda.

 

Not to get in the middle of this, but LBJ is the one who started this huge mess we have today.

 

I really haven't read anything about Silent Cal besides the nickname. He seemed ineffective from the little impression I got ?
Tell me more.

 

just a little history from the Village of Republic hanging on restaurant wall. Darn good eats. Might have hurt my self.

Smoked grilled meatloaf and bacon.

 

Looks like I am at the spot. Little dive of a restaurant has the fat cops sitting in here. Loaded with the locals. Food must be good.

 

Just say'n.

 

I really dread political subjects in forums.

That said, the depression was not national or regional but global. Remember it brought to power some of the most despicable people in history. FDR while not perfect did what Keynes suggested in regard to government spending. There were few alternatives, lots of people suffered. It was a bad time for the world, then it got worse.
