Bingo! Bingo! “Yeah, well, his greatest trick was how he changed the country for the better. When he got elected, he promised all these changes. But everybody thought that he was going to fix things. Instead, what he did, was he deliberately broke and smashed stuff, until the point that even the laziest, dumbest Americans said enough was enough, and they forced Congress to repair just about everything. It was a terrible time: nearly everyone was out of work, and the dollar just about collapsed, and inflation was crazy. But it forced all these crazy laws to be repealed, and all these new, smart, and tough politicians to get elected. And boy, did they ever start cleaning things up when the American people grew their backbones again and started getting involved in politics.” “He got a lot done, didn’t he, dad?” she asked, her homework assignment nearly complete. “Well, the most impressive thing was that he did this all in four years! I forget the story, exactly, but I can’t imagine he lost the election. After all, since he had pretty much ripped apart everything, there probably was no reason to re-elect him. Do you have enough for your assignment tomorrow?”
