Have you guys heard about Herbert Hoover?

I agree 100% with your comparison of the two greatest economic calamities to befall us. I am amazed at how soon the public forgot about how near we were to another depression in October 2008 when President Bush announced that we were on the verge of a financial disaster unless we took immediate action in the form of bailing out our largest banks. Even McCain said he agreed that an infusion of government money was necessary to stem the disaster. Obama did the right thing and we are slowly on the way to recovery.
