Coolidge was as small government as it gets in modern times. Also said GTFO to pretty much any world conflict and global organisation, was very much into nationalism and focusing on Americans.

Extremely underrated.

Roaring 20's architect right there. Cut spending 50% and taxes 50%.

He wasn't perfect but policy wise he's one of my favorite presidents, and I think Trump is very close to Coolidge in many ways (policy, not personality obviously lol).

Coolidge was so notoriously silent that two ladies bet lunch on getting him to say three words at some banquet.

The one woman approached Coolidge, explaining the bet and begging him to say just three words.

Coolidge: You lose.

Did not speak the rest of the night.

To be fair, it was his secretary of treasury, Andrew Mellon.

Republican Harding was better and was one of the top US presidents. Created federal budget and then balanced it. Helped start the 8 hour work day and end child labor. Began equal rights for southern blacks. Lowered taxes by 50% which then greatly increased revenues. Greatly limited immigration to empower American workforce. He won 61% of the popular vote. Probably was killed because he was doing too much.

But historians all just echo some lame scandal that came out after his death which he knew nothing about. Fake news!

Not to mention undoing decades of rampant corruption from the Grant presidency on.

Plus the Fed/Pre UN was created by college professor puppet psycho Wilson.

The banking industry has attempted to destroy and loot this nation since birth.

Cant believe I remember all this.

“But muh disabled need help, why don’t u care about the needy u bigot?”

We live in a time where basically everyone can work. Literally “learn to code”, you can be paralyzed from the neck down and still be able to do work. Those who may be mentally challenged can work too, you see them working all types of service industry jobs. One Culver’s in my town only hires the disabled, they run very well and all are happy.

Then I see people not mentally challenged, in fairly good health, not wanting to work? What the fuck? Get off your ass and earn your lifestyle. These are the same people who say we need illegals because they do jobs Americans don’t want to do. No, you don’t want to do those jobs because you are lazy and think you are above that, I guarantee if you weren’t a leech on the system and we’re about to be starving on the street you would gladly take that job instead of saying we need illegals to do those jobs because you want to sit on your ass all day.

There are very few people in this country who truly can not work, mostly our elderly, and they are only a fraction of the total benefits we give out to people in this country.
