1. The National Review with a celebration of Calvin Coolidge [checks notes twice to be sure that's what it says] as the articulator of an American governing philosophy we should embrace, a perfect blend of liberalism and conservatism. nationalreview.com/corner/liberal…
2. Would be curious to hear from some early 20th century #twitterstorians on the accuracy of the analysis in this piece. One thing worth noting--the wealth inequality gap in Coolidge's time was the last time it was as bad as today.
3. Check out those lines darting sharply up during Coolidge's term...which ended, ya know, less than a year before the Great Depression which had a little something to do with his administration's fiscal policies.
4. But sure, NR, bring on the Coolidge revisionism. I'm totally here for it. Maybe we've got the guy all wrong and his ideas really are what we need to save us from the horrors of the New Deal state that cleaned up the mess he left behind.
