Each question counts for 10 points. Who said the following and where and when?
1. "As never before does the keeping of our economic machine in tune depend upon wise policies in the administrative side of the government."
2. "Prosperity is no idle expression. It is a job for every worker; it is the safety and safeguard of very business and every home. A continuation of the policies of the Republican party is fundamentally necessary to the future advancement of this progress and to the further building up of this prosperity."
3. "Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish."
4. "I am convinced we have now passed the worst and with continued unity of effort we shall rapidly recover. There is one certainty of the future of a people of the resources, intelligence and character of the people of the United States — that is, prosperity."
5. "During the past year you have carried the credit system of the nation safely through a most difficult crisis. In this success you have demonstrated not alone the soundness of the credit system, but also the capacity of the bankers in emergency."
6. "This economy of ours is on a solid foundation, but we can't take economic growth for granted. And there are signs that will cause us to be ever more diligent and to make sure that good policies come out of Washington."
7. "There's some uncertainty in the economy. But in the long run you've got to be confident about your economy. Inflation is down, interest rates are low, productivity is high. Our economy is flexible, it is resilient."
8. "In a free market, there's going to be good times and bad times. That's how markets work. There will be ups and downs."
9. "Fortunately, we recognized the slowdown early and took action. And it was decisive action, in the form of policies that will spur growth."
10. "You know, there's been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street and it is -- people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, is still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong."

OUCH!

Great post Pix but I fear many will not connect the dots with what Hoover said and what history dictated at that time or shortly thereafter!

Highest Regards,

James

I'd not be all that surprised to discover that many members of the Repub Religion younger than say . . 40 . . . think that the Great Depression was the mental state of rational people after Dubya stole his first election.

OH god, stop...my stomach...oh mister now you have done it....I am laughing so hard I am crying...or am I crying so hard I am laughing...

A sad state of affairs when our population is dumber than a box of fricken rocks well at least 49 percent.

Mention God, abortion and smaller government and they follow like sheep to slaughter. Meanwhile we are godless in our policies, we kill unknown number of babies with our lousy healthcare unsystem and our foreign policies, and the government has grown exponentially under republican watch...

I agree with Michelle Obama...well I disagree I am not proud of this country one bit. Now if this historical change occurs I will wear my army uniform, fully decorated at the next vets’ day parade, otherwise I will keep it in the closet until I can wear it with pride.
I don't need no stinking lapel pin, I have the scars I wear everyday!
