This seems like a very sane proposal: reduce federal pay 15%. After all, the cost of living had been reduced significantly since 1928. So my question is, "Why not extend this to the rest of the economy?" After all, reducing pay to the level that would allow businesses to make money would have eliminated unemployment in short order. If it was good for the federal government, why not for everyone else?

"Hoover's doctrinaire attachment to the free market..." What??? This book isn't history; it's propaganda. They don't call it Hoover Dam because it was built by the free market!!!

The hard part about reading this book: words I recently heard keep echoing in my head: if the British had not decided to enter WWI, Woodrow Wilson would have lost the 2016 election, and no one would have ever heard of the assistant secretary of the Navy in his administration: FDR.
