I put Harding ahead of Coolidge. Harding resolved the Wilson Recession in record time, cut the government’s size and spending. Coolidge continued on that track, though his single appointment to SCOTUS, the leftist RINO Harlan Fiske Stone (who so impressed FDR that he made him Chief Justice), was a huge black mark (and only to be exceeded by Ike’s even more horrid choice of Earl Warren).
There’s no doubt that Coolidge would have handled Wilson’s depression exactly the same way—since he kept Mellon on for his whole term.
Coolidge vetoed lots of bad bills, and of course cut the income tax. Top rate: 25%. Trump’s top rate, btw.
If Trump would propose to repeal the 16th and 17th amendments, and abolish the Fed...
