I voted for Coolidge, because he understood what the scoundrel Wilson was up to. He cut the top income tax rate to 25%, cut the federal budget in half, cut the federal tax burden in half, and paid off about one third of the national debt. There was a slow deflation, totalling about 2% during his five years in office. He wrote his own speeches, and everyone ought to read at least his speech of July 4, 1926, delivered at Philadelphia, and his Inaugural Address, March 4, 1925. In both speeches, he reveals a clear understanding of the evil Progressives.

If Coolidge had run for a second full term, he would have won in a landslide, and the recession of 1930 would have lasted six months, because Coolidge was not a Messianic interventionist like Hoover. But Coolidge would have died in office: He died in Massachusetts in January of 1933.

I agree that Coolidge was not portrayed accruately by history books, and that the “Globalist” intellectual Wilson’s impact was white washed and greatly exagerated by same.
