Republican Policies and the “Boom” of the 1920s US History Mrs. Housenick 11/16/12

Conservative Republican Presidents of the 1920s People wanted “return to normalcy” after chaos of World War I Republicans won three elections with conservative views Supported interests of big business Tax cuts for wealthy and for big business High tariff to protect American industry

Conservative Republican Presidents of the 1920s ctnd. Wanted return to “laissez-faire” Believed government should not interfere with economy Wanted economy to grow without government regulation Believed government should not act to assist individuals “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps” “Don’t wait for government handout”

Supply Side Economics Republican economic philosophy Idea that rich should keep their money rather than pay high taxes Business and consumers will spend and invest extra money, causing economy to grow Often called “trickle down economics” Many Republicans still believe this today

Warren Harding: President 1920-1923 Replaced Wilson and Democratic rule Ran on promise of “return to normalcy” Put friends in government posts, lead to corruption Cut taxes on corporate profits and for wealthy Raised tariff dramatically

Calvin Coolidge: President 1923-1928 Took over when Harding died Cleaned up corruption in White House Very similar economic policies to Harding Believed government’s #1 job was to help business “The business of America is business”

Herbert Hoover: President 1928-1932 Elected when Coolidge decided not to run again in 1928 Raised tariffs even further Seemed economy was booming under Hoover Depression will begin under his watch,many will blame Republican economic policies for crash.
