President who calls himself conservative, but is really the exact opposite helps ruin the economy. (Hoover, Bush)

Next president, calls himself liberal, says TONS of government is the solution, which in the end makes the depression much worse / longer. (FDR, Obama)

This is playing out just as it did in the 30s....

Awesome because I'm looking forward to the good times of the 50's.

lol. sometimes I try really hard to find positive things in all this. For the past decade, the music scene has really gone downhill. When I turn on the rock or pop stations, the musicians just sound bored. But with hard times, I believe better music is on the way. :D

But back on topic...yes, this is incredibly similar, only there wasn't a war going on in the 20's, and it remains to be seen whether the war will continue.
