President Bush’s Economic Plan
Shades of the 1932 election campaign revisited. After three years and 10 months on his lackadaisical watch, President George “Herbert Hoover” Bush has learned that the “nation’s economy is lousy.” His next campaign statement will probably offer “a chicken in every pot.”
As a child in 1932 I remember the favorite chant on every school playground in Los Angeles was:
“Roosevelt, Roosevelt be the man,
Kick old Hoover in the can.”
Isn’t it time for another New Deal? I think that it is.
