Tis the same story, isn't it, as what would be a believer in progressive state intervention who bought the Republican fairy tale on how the economy worked be ...

... which would be the analogue of a believer in Republican Cold War reakpolitik who bought the Democratic belief in macroeconomic management ...

... except, well, an early 21st century version of Hoover, the Great Humanitarian, who thought that Wall Street had gone to excess and so got his money out of the stock market before the Great Crash, but who believed to the soles of his feet that deficit spending would bring economic disaster.

However, that is just the story on the Presidential stage. The Congressional story might not be in sync to the same dynamic.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
