Worked well for Warren Harding. He took office after the Panic of '21. GDP was down nearly 20% and unemployment was over 12%. He cut government by ~50%, cut taxes and cut the national debt by 1/3rd. Unemployment was cut in half in 1 year and down to 2.4% in 2 years.

He was pretty specific about things that could be done and questions that need to be debated in Congress.

It's not a fact. It's your opinion and it shows your ignorance.
...but how about someone from a hick Arkansas town of ~10,000 people? Someone like Bill Clinton. How about Jimmy Carter? Did you like him? He is from a redneck town in Georgia with less than 1,000 people.
Rand Paul was born in Pittsburgh anyways...

For someone espousing on the multiculturalism of the North you sure sound close minded and full of stereotypes.

Nothing wrong with corporation or CEOs. Everything wrong with Corporatism and I am sure that Rand Paul would argue the same.
