Some wag once said of Coolidge, “He don’t talk much, but when he does, he don’t say much.”
RE: Some wag once said of Coolidge, “He don’t talk much, but when he does, he don’t say much.”
And here’s the more important thing — He didn’t presume to do much either. He just let the country unleash its own prosperity ( he was VP to Warren Harding when the USA almost sank into a great depression — 1920-21 ).
I also give him credit for quietly cleaning up the Teapot Dome scandal and holding those responsible to account.
Coolidge’s administration was marked by economic growth, low taxes, balanced budgets, restrained spending, peace and the most underrated virtue of any government, stability.
A quite man who BELIEVED in America and didn’t presume to think that he or the government could solve everyone’s problems for them.
THAT is what I want — a boring, efficient, effective President.
