Those who don't heed history are doomed to repeat it!
To paraphrase an old truism.
When the Great Depression began, Hoover was in the Presidency. He sat on his hands. Voters booted his ass out and elected FDR who set about rebuilding what the Republican Administration had let Crumble. Somebody quoted Hoover in a thread here on HZ the other day (I think it was on HZ) which was very good and very accurate. So you better hope the Dems WIN! Unless you're enjoying this economy.
