That’s true. And you know, here’s a general rule: Absolutely nothing that a treasury secretary says to a president will affect the real economy if the president ignores his advice and does something else. Hoover didn’t cut federal spending, he doubled it. He established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. He propped up wages and prices. Indeed, he launched the New Deal. And Green is right: In the fac...

Reports the Washington Post: Fannie Mae reported yesterday that it lost $23.2 billion in the first three months of the year as mortgage defaults increasingly spread from risky loans to the far-larger portfolio of loans to borrowers who have been considered safe. The massive loss prompts a $19 billion investment from the government to keep the firm solvent, on top of a $15 billion investment of taxpayer money earlier this year. The sobering earnings report was a reminder of the f...

Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Those on the hard right say, “Cut government spending, let’s go back to the old Reagan days.” Well, the last president who did this when we were in this type of situation was Herbert Hoover.  Herbert Hoover said the government should do nothing when we were in a recession, not a depression.  We did nothing and it related [sic] to a depression. Reality check: Did President Hoover cut federal spending during the recession that became a depression? Not by a long shot.   Source: OMB Federal spending was $3.1 billion (those were the days!) in 1929, the year Hoover took office and the stock market crashed. It rose modestly for two years, then shot up in 1932. It dropped a bit in nominal terms in 1933, though def...

Sowell, a fellow of the Hoover Institute, writes that parents are being advised to get an autism diagnosis only for a child who is a “late talker” or displays some of the diagnostic criteria for autism, and only in order to access services. “Many parents have told me that they have been urged to let their children be labeled autistic, or on the autistic spectrum, in order to get money for speech therapy or other conditions from grants that are available to deal with autism,” Sowell notes. ...

I'm waiting for the first candidate for the presidency to guarantee broadband access for every citizen if elected. It'd probably be through WiMAX, though, or satellite for the rural citizens. The slogan at the beginning of this post was meant to suggest the prosperity that would follow with a Hoover presidency. Now, empowerment has more to do with participating in the networks to serve your particular needs as well as helping others who share the same interests.
