About Damn Time, Too

My boy Calvin Coolidge gets recognized.  By word:

“New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose, it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration.
“Whether one traces his Americanism back three centuries to the Mayflower, or three years of the steerage, is not half so important as whether his Americanism of to-day is real and genuine. No matter by what various crafts we came here, we are all now in the same boat.”

And by deed:

Under Coolidge, the top income tax rate of 65% under Wilson was eventually cut to 20%. The stock market began its unprecedented ‘roaring 20s’ climb as it became clear through 1924 that Coolidge’s tax reduction bill would pass. In both his first and last year in office, federal receipts were $3.8 billion and expenditures were $3.1 billion, and in between, he cut the national debt from $22.3 billion to $16.9 billion.

Do we ever need him today.  Kudos to Ron DeSantis for bringing him back into the limelight.

  1. I am going to keep an eye on Javier Milei of Argentina. Apparently today, his first day at work, he cut the national government in half.

    1. I’m in favor of cutting government to the bone then carefully building back slowly only absolutely needed.

      I’d like to see how Milei in Argentina does as well

  2. The guv mint has “nothing”. “In order for the guv mint to give some one something, they must first take it from someone else”

    Take the chains off and let the economy thrive. Those who work, invest and choose wisely will live happy lives.

    Fuck losers who want free shit paid for by those who work.
