Every presidential history account I’ve read has been compiled by a leftist, and they almost ALL paint Pres. Harding as one of the worst presidents in history. So I take it with a grain of salt.
The same presidential history book that I have absolutely trashes President Reagan, so I know it’s mostly garbage.
Harding isn't too popular on the Left. After all, he massively cut the Federal bureaucracy, which had ballooned during the Wilson administration, and he also cut taxes. His free-market economic policies got us out of the post-WWI depression and launched a recovery that would last the rest of the decade.
