The 30s, and arguably the 70s where worse decades economically than the 200Xs.

The first two and the 201Xs all fall into similar demographic distributions. All three may be reflected on as similar economies by historians.

So far we know that FDR made it worse. Nixon and Carter made it worse until Volker started us on a decent path. It took REagan to get us out of the economic trouble Carter left him with.

It will take a strong economic leader to get us past the radical Obama agenda.

No, Tim. Arguably the 30s, although international trade did not fall as fast or as hard back then. We never, for example, resorted to barter for bulk goods like we did in 2008.

But the 70s? Not so much.
