Silent Cal. He was a ripper. Very low key.

When told by a reporter that he had a bet with his news pool staff that he could get Cal to answer a question with more than two words, the President replied: “ You lose!”

The post Trump administrations are going to be historical as well.

cutting taxes and government. He is hated by leftist academia because he proved cutting both is the key to economic recovery, not taxing, spending and expanding government.

Every President that has done this has spurred the economy.
Every President that has not done this has put us into a recession/depression.

George Halas and Red Grange went to the White House to visit Pres. Coolidge. They were introduced to him as “George Halas and Red Grange of the Chicago Bears.”

Coolidge said, “A pleasure to meet you gentlemen. I always like animal acts.”

Probably the last President of the Republic before DC started to see itself as an Empire.

Silent Cal was a one of our greatest presidents! He was a major thorn in the side of every progressive and Demo as he cut spending everywhere possible and would not budge to political pressure. One of his favorite words when any new law that added to Federal spending was a resounding “NO!” I can’t think of another president since who has done anything like Cal.
