One must not forgot that WWII was the primary Depression solution. New Deal had made some enhancements, but it wasn't until weapon fabrics started producing day and night that the unemployment rate declined to sensible standards.
Sadly, war is often the factor which makes the wheel spinning again.Comment

Such a good Southerner.Originally posted by David Floyd
However, from the list above, I would probably have to go with Thomas Jefferson. A good Southerner
"Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the Covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment... laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind... as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, institutions must advance also, to keep pace with the times.... We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain forever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." - Thomas JeffersonI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Coolidge in my opinion is the most fun President to learn about, but really, alls he did was step off the train before the big crash.Originally posted by David Floyd
My preference would probably be Calvin Coolidge, simply because he didn't do much - and I love is quote: "The business of America is business."
However, from the list above, I would probably have to go with Thomas Jefferson. A good Southerner

Brilliant!

Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite.
A man who overcame childhood illness, became a tough law man in the west, police commish of NY (and an honest reformer of it, to boot) assistant sec of the Navy, helped form and lead the Rough Riders in combat, served as a fine and honest president, was first pres to go under water in submarine, first to have an auto, led the USA into a great era of properity and expansion, brokered the peace between Japan and Russia in 1905 (and won a Nobel Peace Prize for it), was a family man who truly loved his kids, turned his back on Republicans to run as independant when he disagreed with their policies, was fearless big game hunter, so many things!
Truly a great man.
And was a New Yorker!

Calvin Coolidge - in a time when the Fabian socialists had made great strides growing government, Coolidge slowed them down enormously. It was easy for the early presidents to keep government small since they started out with small governments.

does have alot of control over the federal reserve after all. But I thought the crash occured under Hoover, not Coolidge. Can you actually provide proof that Coolidge was responsible for the crash or did you just blame him for some other reason?Comment

It obviously wasn't Hoover's fault...McKinley Coolidge and Hoover were essentially the same presidency as far as what was going on...and that's quite simply "pro business" and of course, in McKinley's term especially, corruption. I never claimed it was Coolidge's fault, it wasn't anyone's "fault"...I'm just saying if he had run for another term, history would coin the term "Coolidgevilles" instead...he's lucky to have stepped out when he did.
Again, never said it was his fault and I don't think that it was."Chegitz, still angry about the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991?
