>For some direction on the course of the present administration, you should probably look at Hoover's administration. After his election, he was pressed to aid the farmers, who were suffering from low commodity prices (sound familiar). The laws passed had a negligible effect. Almost immediately after the farm support laws came the Hawley-Smoot tariffs. Corporate income had started to decline, and big business pressed for protection from European industries. The tariffs taxed foreign goods to protect American ones. (Is this starting to sound familiar too?) The next two major events under Coolidge were the Stock Market crash of 1929, and the Great Depression. Need I say more.< The Road to Retirement City, Chapter 3 Corn at $1.80, BTW
