The ever amazing Republican, Teddy Roosevelt created the USFS as a way to create jobs and have sustainable lumber resources. He also wanted to make sure that nature was conserved so he could go use his guns to kill things. Of course he was so badass he fought bears with his hands instead.
That is the kind of Republican we need. Make Republicans Great Again!
Wasn't that back when republican meant liberal and democrat was conservative? When did they switch?
Right after Teddy actually. Taft and Harding and Hoover began allowing big business to establish itself. Beginning the whole robber baron era and leading to the dust bowl and Great Depression. Eventually, their fiscally conservative policies attracted socially conservative people because of the red scare and the fallout of the world wars.
Fiscal conservative was code word for undo the New Deal. Just like social conservative is code for undo the Civil Rights Act.
Yes.
