How The 1930s Produced Barack Obama

[regent]

It takes a certain kind of moron to imagine that the larger the font they use, the more import it has....and the more it can counter the truth.

Raise your paw.

As I have mentioned to you before, you must get this information to the noted historians and presidential experts that rate the presidents. Again and again they have rated Harding as one of the worst American presidents, something about stupidity and stealing. They wouldn't dare say Harding was one of the worst American presidents if they knew your truths. Don't let us down and please let us know how the historians respond.

"As I have mentioned to you before, you must get this information to the noted historians "


That is far too mild.....when faced with the documented material that I post, you mindlessly default to that 'historians' nonsense.


I chalk it up to both the inability to respond in a cogent manner, and to your infirmity, incessant perseveration.


See if this helps:

"Perseveration can be defined as the contextually inappropriate and unintentional repetition of a response or behavioral unit. In other words, the observed repetitiveness does not
meet the demands of the situation, is not the product ofdeliberation, and may even unfold despite counterintention."
http://schizophreniabulletin.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/1/63.full.pdf

Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, trying to convince a few posters that Harding was not a bad president seems to be a waste, whereas if you could convince a number of historians to change their opinion of Harding, textbooks might be changed, Rushmore might have a new figure. As it is, however, the textbooks continue pumping out the Harding gave away the navy's oil, and let his cronies sell VA medical supplies and so forth. I say, at least let the right-wing historians in on what you have because they do seem to hot for Harding either. Good luck.

1. "Anyway, trying to convince a few posters that Harding was not a bad president...."

I never did so.

See, now I've reduced you to lying.



2. "... historians...."

Default.....perseveration.....schizophrenia???


3. Even worse is you inveterate fear of facts.....no medication for that.




Harding sure was better at defeating recessions that that failure, Franklin Roosevelt, huh?

"President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History" President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History - Forbes



Far be it from I to defend this failure-in-chief, but it didn't begin with Obama.





1. It was during the 1930s that government subsides became the way of life in Washington.
Prior to that, subsidies were usually found to be inconsistent with the Constitution, and when they were given, at least Congress was held accountable, and had to run for reelection based on the success or failure of their largesse.

2. Two factors account for the increase in federal give-aways: The Depression changed the way government operated, and a cowardly Supreme Court increasingly viewed the Constitution as merely a suggestion.
Both Hoover and Roosevelt, and the Congress, created lots of new agencies with the power to give subsidies.





3. Enter, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC). Not only was the agency new, but so was it's founding concept: never before in US history (well...maybe in WWI) had the US established an independent agency with power to lend millions, later billions, to private corporations! The RFC gave the money, not Congress. Reconstruction Finance Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

4. Hoover believed that government intervention was needed to support private enterprise....while ignoring that government interventions helped cause the Depression:
"..in 1928 and 1929, the Federal Reserve raise interest rates four times, which made it harder for businessmen to borrow money to invest, and that hindered economic growth.

Second, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, which Hoover signed in 1930, was the highest tariff in American history. It sharply raised rates on 887 items and virtually stopped foreign trade....

Third, Hoover raised tax rates across the board- from 24 to 63 percent on rich people...[which] slowed down investing....[ and establishing] new companies." Folsom, "New Deal or Raw Deal."






5. For purposes of comparison with the Hoover/Roosevelt economic policies, one should study the policies of Warren G. Harding, the greatest recession fighter in history!

"Harding inherited the mess, in particular the post-World War I depression – almost as severe, from peak to trough, as the Great Contraction from 1929 to 1933, that FDR inherited and prolonged.

Richard K. Vedder and Lowell E. Gallaway, in their book "Out of Work", noted that the magnitude of the 1920 depression "exceeded that for the Great Depression of the following decade for several quarters." The estimated gross national product plunged 24% from $91.5 billion in 1920 to $69.6 billion in 1921. The number of unemployed people jumped from 2.1 million in 1920 to 4.9 million in 1921." America’s Greatest Depression*Fighter by Jim Powell





a. Harding cut federal spending by more than half, from a $6.4 billion budget in 1920 to $3.1 billion in 1923.
Also, he and his successor, Calvin Coolidge, cut tax rates on all income taxpayers during the 1920s- from 73 to 24 percent on the wealthiest Americans. The results were astonishing:
Unemployment plummeted from 11.7 percent to 2.4 percent from 1921 to 1923, and remained low for the rest of the decade. During the 1920s, living standards went up, gross national product increased almost 25%, and the federal government recorded budget surpluses every year- until the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and Congress passed Smoot-Hawley.
Folsom, "Uncle Sam Can't Count," p.141 and Time for Another Harding? | The Weekly Standard




b. In 1935, the Brookings Institution (left-leaning) delivered a 900-page report on the New Deal and the National Recovery Administration, concluding that “ on the whole it retarded recovery.”
The Real Deal - Society and Culture - AEI



Harding policies worked, Hoover/Roosevelt....not so much.


Guess which Obama mirrors?

Both Harding and Coolidge were highly regarded by the American people during their presidencies. Their economic policies fostered the second greatest period of economic growth and prosperity in American history in the face of what would have been the greatest economic recession in American history had FDR been in charge during the 1920's. They are both severely underrated presidents, and FDR is the most overrated bag of hot air in history.
