Interesting, especially in light of the fact that Harding generally tops most prominent historians’ lists of Worst U.S. Presidents (at least until George W. passes him up in their next edition). No doubt it’s why the guy is buried across the street from a shopping mall in Marion, Ohio.
Harding and Congress cut spending by 50% in 2 years. It is a stronger case for conservativism than the article implies.
Article somehow manages to not mention that a world war had ended shortly before all this happened. Would seem to be a relevant point in comparing it to 1929, which occurred in a time of peace.
With all the debt we have saddled them with, not much nice, I'm sure.
