[Vision2020] Michele Bachmann and the Great Depression (kinda)

[Tom Hansen]

Darrell Keim stated:

"The Economist did prominently discuss Hoot-Smalley as something that may have
prolonged the depression."

Darrell:  Are you sure that The Economist discussed the "Hoot-Smalley Act" and
NOT the "Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act", which was "pioneered by Senator Reed Smoot,
a Republican from Utah, and Representative Willis C. Hawley, a Republican from
Oregon" as reported in the Wikipedia at:

FYI:  Michele Bachmann may not be popular in the Pacific time zone, but she is
well known by her constituents in the 6th District of Minnesota.
