really makes you wonder what other great leaders are totally demonized in the history books
Andrew Jackson
Whenever I brought up the fact that Andrew Jackson was the only president to have zero national debt EVERY teacher I had always immediately jumped to "MUH TRAIL OF TEARS". Also yes I understand that the reason Jackson was able to have zero national debt is because it's easier to pay off 50 years of debt then it is 250 years of debt.
Nixon certainly.
They are doing to Trump what they did to Nixon.
Kids are taught "Nixon bad, Nixon evil."
They will do the same to Trump
They do it to every Republican ever, reality stopped mattering to them quite a long time ago.
What truly kills me is at least in the 60’s/early 70s you had young people protesting the Vietnam War. The draft was in, many young people were dying, and for the first time the people found out the government was lying to them(about winning in Vietnam).
Now there is nothing to protest!! We’re at peace with virtually every country! Trump pulled out troops from the Mid East and even Europe!! He brokered peace between feuding nations!!
That’s INCREDIBLE!! But no, Alec Baldwin on SNL does a sketch and Trump bad. It’s frightening to know how fucking dumb most of the people in the US are.
Fucking morons. I truly hope one day these a holes look bad and realize they booted the wrong person from office.
End the gold standard Nixon?
Unfortunately governments worldwide ruined the gold standard by handling it very poorly (and at several points not accepting silver as a substitute), so naturally the conclusion that was pushed is that the gold standard was bad and not that the government handled it badly. From what I remember Nixon actually wanted to couple the USD back to gold again after the crisis he was presiding over but never got the chance.
Now the government is handling fiat currency badly and we have a problem again.
Just going back to gold standard wouldn't mean it is handled better this time however. There is another idea that got floated to base a currency on several different commodities (including gold) that reflect the state of the economy overall but ofc no government wants to hear that.
Herbert Hoover, although he was more of a great guy wrong place. He wasn't insane, at all.
