    If Coolidge had been president when the stock market crashed in 1929 we would have been out of the depression in a year.

    Calvin Coolidge is credited with saying
    “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

    He spent the summer of 1928 in Northwest Wisconsin enjoying fishing and used a room in our old Superior Central High School as the "Summer White House" Our Douglas County Historical Society has the Desk he used along with many Photos from his stay in the area.

    "Why would you be interested in the Roaring Twenties? You don't seem like the type to drink champagne out of a slipper." What a preposterous thing to say to a serious historian.

    This isn't a new thesis. Much of her work is built on Milton Friedman's analysis of the Great Depression.

    Government spending 2% of GDP under Coolidge, the French government is currently eating up 57% of their country's productivity, any predictions?

    Why? He was a fiscal conservative who presided during the Roaring Twenties. Pro-spenders don't mention him much.

    @2:48,
    The real forgotten man is the man who's homeless because of government regulations and restrictions on education and job-training.

      The homeless is a mental health issue not really an economic issue. Most of the homeless should be institutionalized. They no longer have the mental wherewithal to take care of themselves.

    My dad told me a bit about my families history. It takes a small group of slanderers to start a large rumor mill when no-one like the new guy firing everybody.
