Good, so go away?
“ Yeah that was Woody Wilson sticking it to the little guy.”
Wasn’t that done by his wife? Wilson had stroked out and was incapacitated to the point of being non-verbal. Great government we have when you vote for one but someone else decides…
I’ll pass, friend.
Forgot to mention, he is also a retread...

I read your post and I thought you were wrong. A moment later, I read #33 and now I’m not so sure.
For the record: I have not studied or even read the laws concerning tariffs. I’m not qualified to say which side will prevail before SCOTUS, let alone which side deserves to prevail. Those questions are waaaaay above my pay grade.
From where I sit, the Congress has tacitly approved the tariffs by not strongly objecting.
The President has accomplished the tax increase that Congress is never able to do.
Freep mail its prior life if you don’t mind.
I just Grok’d that about Woody Wilson.
You are correct - per Grok ‘multiple strokes that left him incapacitated, particularly after a severe stroke in 1919. His health problems were often downplayed by his inner circle, leading to a situation where he continued to serve despite being unfit for office.’
I did not know this about Wilson.
So FDR followed Woody’s path and let Eleanor run the country for him.
