Four most significant Presidents of the 20th Century

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Not really in a particular order:

1. Reagan
2. FDR
3. Hoover - most peopl are gonna disagree with me here, but here's my reasoning - had Hoover not been in office with his "You got yourselves in this mess, now get out of it" mentality, FDR never would've been elected.
4. LBJ

Hoover
FDR
LBJ
Nixon

OK, I'm curious, why did you say Hoover?

Probably cause he just sat on his ass while the nation started to crumble

Well - the depression was the stupid investors' fault - not his.  So he wasn't in the wrong in my mind.

He was wrong - he placed his own personal work ethic onto everyone else - and when everyone FINALLY told him it wouldn't work - he did something, almost 2 years later.

Significant.

1. FDR - the New Deal

2. Reagan - re-started the Cold War just claim credit for ending it. Turned the Republican Party into a party dominated by nationalistic bluster and screeching theocrats.

3. LBJ - Great Society programs, Vietnam War policies.

4. Theodore Roosevelt - First really thrust mordern(ish) America onto the world stage

Honourable mentions to
- Truman, Kennedy and Wilson.

Why should the gov't step in and fix a problem caused by citizens being irresponsible?  If you take this to it's logical conclusion, the gov't should step in when somebody has a gambling problem.

Not quite.

Whatever the source of the problems, this was more than a company going bust - it was the trigger for a world-wide depression where people who had nothing to do with the market and who were just doing their job and trying to scrape together enough money for their families were losing their jobs and tossed out of their homes.

He should have done something more, faster.

So how many people does it have to affect before you take action?
