I suspect history will record that the dead period between administrations caused fatal delays in govt action to halt the downward momentum, and that by end of january it was too late to stop the 20-ft snowball with a couple of spades.

I think you made an unintentional joke, no doubt due to your British upbringing, where they call a shovel a spade.

And also due to the fact that using "spade" to refer to African-Americans is both American slang and fairly obsolete.
