Obviously I am a shameless hack in the 2012 US Presidential Election forum, but I am relatively objective (i.e., not politically partisan) in the Economics forum.

NoTA

Reagan ran up a deficit, barely cut any taxes, and increased spending.

Clinton ran up a deficit but cleverly hid it by shuffling money around and robbing the Social Security fund. He also barely cut any taxes and increased spending.

I vote Calvin Coolidge.

Managed the total abolition of the central bank (reinstated in stages by Lincoln and then Wilson) and fiat money, wasn't a protectionist or given to subsidizing favored industries, dramatically shrunk government in all other respects.
