@@DoubleMrE haha you're not wrong. I'm interested in investments, and as an old Wall Street adage goes "a portfolio is like a bar of soap. The more you handle it, the smaller it gets". Anyways, I think Coolidge was just what the Framer's had in mind. The smaller the government, the greater the freedom. As far as I know, Coolidge is the only president where government actually shrank under his watch. That alone ought to put him in high regard for any true conservative or libertarian.

1 of the dumbest things I've ever heard anybody say. You mean they're independent like people from the Hampshire who drive over the border collect their paycheck in Massachusetts ? Could that be what you mean? I'm not sure what planet you people are on

I wouldn't blame Coolidge's shortcomings on New England.

New England was a different civilization back then.

@@masaruedmundnakawatase5165 what shortcomings?

There's def some trolls in the comments

I mean Coolidge. Sorry for misspelling

Had he run for another term he would prevented the Great Depression

Teddy Roosevelt, different guy. Lol

Simple, for sure. But great? Please.

​@@masaruedmundnakawatase5165what's your problem here? You keep going through the comments trashing this guy. What's your 100 year old beef?

Fair enough. In my youth, I was a Young Republican (I am now 80) and have some familiarity accordingly with the conservative classics but even in those formative years I thought Coolidge's politics seemed backward. As with many conservatives, Coolidge's political vision seemed to be government by bookkeepers whose highest goals seemed to be balanced budgets. But such a political vision was, to be kind, obtuse about what was happening to the country then economically: a faltering agricultural sector; an increasingly immiserated working class; a business class that thought it could rule forever with minimal (or no) regulation and weak unions. The Great Depression and the right wing responses to that catastrophe exposed the inadequacies of the conservative world view as far as I'm concerned. The American right still continues in its battle against the New Deal; they're still sore about their loss. Calvin Coolidge is no demonic figure in American history. He's just a symbol to me of do-nothing (or do little) government, animated by the notion among the right wing that the government is somehow an evil force. I make no brief for the government as an absolute positive force. It won't eliminate sin but it can provide resources for health, education, housing, and in general make lives better for our fellow citizens. No doubt Calvin Coolidge had virtues that I didn't know about. I have been taken aback about this effort to lift his memory. But I say go for it, continue to make the case for him @@miketackabery7521 n

@@DavidMcdonald-df8tb I was referring to the (transformer) SD governor...

@@know-body2519 why do you call her a transformer?

​@DavidMcdonald-df8tb For the same reason that Vladimir Putin called Michelle Obama a "transformer" in an interview with British journalists. And before you question my opinion, please keep in mind that Miss Universe has been been a "trans-former", as well as Taylor Swift, Sandra Bullock, Dolly Parton, Jada Picket Smith, Marjorie Taylor Green etc, etc, etc. I could go on ad infinitum.

That’s a biggie!

You don't know nothing John Snow!! It could and absolutely did happen because of a blister on his toe. You clearly do not understand science? 🤣 Kidding, a little bit.

Many people like you think that only Black lives matter. Americannegoes had it better before the socialist rights act of 1964.

This comment is revisionist. I'll only address the last silly point because the others were covered in the video. Coolidge didn't cause the great depression. And he certainly couldn't have done anything to stop it before it happened. There's such a thing as a business cycle and there's no escaping it. Even communist countries couldn't escape it (though it occurred differently for them, it still occurred). The Fed caused the economy's collapse, not the Wall Street crash: even David Stockman admitted so. It's extremely well documented.

A terrible President because he didn’t appoint any black people to important federal positions. 🙄

Why is discrimination always worse when applied to black people. That type of thinking is actually racist.

I agree with you about Mount Rushmore being better in its natural state.

Very sad comment

Hoover's problem was not that he left things alone. His problem was he believed that he and the government could manage the economy. He was an activist president and his economic policies arguably turned what would have been a nasty recession into a full blown depression. Only to have FDR follow suit and put the "Great" into the Depression with his crazy efforts to regulate the economy back to health and raising taxes. FDR never got the country out of the depression. In the summer of 1940 when running for his third term unemployment was hovering around 20%. It was the war that saved FDR from the harsh judgement of history.

You are pretending you know what Coolidge was thinking.

@@jec1ny If FDR had not done what he did in his first term, the country could have very well veered into fascism. He gave the nation hope where there was none under Hoover.

@@brianhill5009 The threat of political extremism in US politics in the early 30s was not from the right, it was from the left. These were the glory days of the Communist Party and their fellow travelers. All of which aside, nothing you wrote alters the fact that FDR's economic policies broadly speaking were a failure that prolonged the depression.

​@@jec1nyHoover did little to harm or help the economic situation. Roosevelt seemed like he helped and that was enough for the voters, but he didn't help either. The Great Depression wasn't going to go away quickly like others did because it began so differently than others. Even David Stockman admitted that the Federal Reserve caused it by allowing the banks to collapse.

LOL

Amen to that!
