Coolidge Showed That The Best Government Was The One That Got Out Of The Way. When He Refrained, The Economy Grew, The Ku Klux Klan Faded, And Americans Got Model A's And Automobiles.

Economics Are Part Of Our Life. We Try To Treat Them Separately, Like Over There Is The Economy And Here Is History. Econ Affects History And History Often Doesn't Get It Right If It Doesn't Respect Econ.

Coolidge Cut The Budget, And Even Better, Cut It During Peace And Prosperity. He Left A Federal Budget Lower Than The One That Greeted Him When He Arrived In Office.

He Came Into A Rough Time And He, And Harding Before Him, Fixed That By Budgeting.
