Answer 3

Calvin Coolidge was a bad president. He was a bad president for the reasons that not only did he appoint a bad cabinet, but then he refused to do anything and let the cabinet hasten the coming of the Great Depression. He also was racist and sexist in a nation that prides itself on freedom and justice for all.
The Ku Klux Klan claimed 5 million members in 1925, and marched to Washington, where it was received favorably. With abandon, it was murdering blacks, jews, catholics, and women who refused to be subordinate. Coolidge shared many of those views, particularly those on women.
It's hard to describe "nothing", which was his daily mantra. Andrew Mellon reduced taxes on business and the wealthy five times during his eight years as Secretary of the Treasury. Coolidge just smiled. As the budget dollars shrank, Coolidge's cabinet reduced their budgets, providing fewer and fewer services to America. Coolidge thought it a great thing.
In the most important piece of legislation passed during his time, Mellon cut estate taxes by 50%, repealed the gift tax, and reduced taxes on the rich by 75%. In one year federal revenues shrank 10%. This hastened the coming of the depression in many ways, not the least by giving the rich more money to buy stock at 10% of its value (the norm for the time). This expanded the effect the collapse had when suddenly money was needed – no one had any.
When news reached Dorothy Parker that Coolidge was dead, she responded saying "How can they tell?" This pretty much sums up how effective Calvin Coolidge was as a president... not very.
