Re: "that same statement can be made about the string of Republican Presidents in the '20s vs. FDR." >>> Yep. True. Of course Federal involvement in the economy was vastly less during that earlier era. >>> See this reply about Coolidge: Message 18260878 Re: "There's a little truth here that keeps getting lost: Presidents have a whole lot less to do with economic performance than they or partisans on either side like to pretend." >>> That is also true... though, as I pointed out above, Federal involvement/influence/control of the national economy is much greater now than in earlier eras.
