An article in Thursday's Daily Herald by David Ignatius, asks President Obama to "look at President Theodore Roosevelt's response to the financial shenanigans of 1902." It seems T.R. had a better way of dealing with the nations economic problems then FDR which Obama wants to follow. Instead of creating larger bureaucracies we should be breaking them up into smaller companies as T.R. did. We are now throwing hundreds of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars into the financial mess and it seems the money just disappears into a vast black hole of financial giants that Washington is afraid to break up or let fail. "The big financial trusts of our day have been threatening the regulators with ruin, and the regulators have been caving." It seems T.R. and his cabinet were made of sterner stuff compared to President Obama's cabinet. I believe T.R.'s cabinet all paid their tax bills unlike the current cabinet, maybe that has something to do about it.
The path that President Obama is taking will bring us big government with big corporations.
A better idea is for the Republican Party to hold onto the values of Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, which have proved in the past to not only help the Country out of economic troubles, but are also the values that founded this Country. By keeping true to T.R. and Reagan the Republicans will retake Washington and put the Country on the right path.
