Harding and Coolidge vs. Hoover and Roosevelt
I’m not a big fan of Glenn Beck, but he had two top-notch guys on about Hoover and FDR vs. Harding and Coolidge and their respective economic records. Tom Woods of the Mises Institute presents a compelling argument why “Do Nothing Harding” was better for the economy that “Do Something Roosevelt.” Burton Folsom is a professor at Hillsdale College.

Great clip! Tom Woods was on the G Gordon Liddy Show this week and was great on the air there too. Here’s the link http://tinyurl.com/d72frk
Jeff, These guys must have been listening to Rush, he has been saying this for years. Frank
I would say that Mr. Limbaugh may have gotten this from these guys or their contemporaries.
If you’re a conservative, as Rush is, you say the same thing as these guys. Perhaps not with the same level of scholarship, but this is what it means to be conservative. You’re coming from the same place. I doubt Rush has heard of these two guys, but it’s true he has been preaching this same stuff for years.
I’m not a Rush fan, but I know he does some very good stuff. I’m not sure what kind of conservative he is. But this blog probably would disagree with him on many issues relating to civil liberties, the Bush years, and other issues. He makes his money by criticizing just about any Democrat, supporting Bush, and slamming the “drive by media.” It get’s old.
