“We’re eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn’t have a plan to get this virus under control. I do.”
His plan is to take credit for all the work Pres. Trump did to try to get it under control and then blame him for all the failures soon to happen under the Biden “plan”.
Precisely the FDR political playbook. There wasn’t any difference between FDR’s economic plan and Hoover’s, either.The actual difference is, Biden inherited a good but limited plan. FDR inherited a disastrous plan and doubled down on it.
History can’t tell us whether Hoover would have gotten a clue before 1936, only that FDR never did get a clue. What passed for “an economic clue” was the jump in demand for American war materiel starting with Britain’s declaration of war in 1939.
Not Pearl Harbor but the Fall of France (May 1940) caused the FDR-sponsored 18-month transition to an industrial war footing. And that ended the economic Depression.
