The following has been edited to a certain extent.
Below the quotes you can find the key to fill in the blanks..
Foreign Policy
While he was not an isolationist, [1] was reluctant to enter into foreign alliances. [1] saw the landslide Republican victory of [2] as a rejection of the [3] ideas.
[1] believed the [4] did not serve American interests, and he did not advocate membership in it.
Taxes & Fiscal Policy
[1]'s taxation policy was that taxes should be lower and that fewer people should have to pay them. Congress agreed, and the taxes were reduced in [1]'s term.
In addition to these tax cuts, [1] proposed reductions in federal expenditures and retiring some of the federal debt.
[1]'s ideas were shared by the Republicans in Congress, and in [2] Congress passed the Revenue Act of [2], which reduced income tax rates and eliminated all income taxation for some [5] million people.
They reduced taxes again by passing the Revenue Acts of [6] and [7], all the while continuing to keep spending down so as to reduce the overall federal debt. By [8], only the richest 2% of taxpayers paid any income tax.
[1] = Calvin Cooldige / Ron Paul
[2] = 1924 / 2012
[3] = Wilsonian / Orwellian / Neo-Conservative
[4] = League of Nations / United Nations
[5] = two / six?
[6] = 1926 / 2014
[7] = 1928 / 2016
[8] = 1927 / 2015
People often compare GWB to Hoover and BHO to Wilson / Roosevelt.
They say that the 1929 Crash / Great Depression has / will repeat itself.
These are just examples of how History's MISTAKES and BAD TIMES have repeated themselves.
I hope that History gives us a break and repeats something GOOD.
Like getting a modern day Thomas Jefferson / Calvin Coolidge elected as president! :D
Also, is Coolidge everyone's favorite president here?
I rarely hear anyone on the forum mention him..
He seems to me like a Ron Paul Republican (:p), and he was actually elected President!
