GOP solution at the time was pretty much the same as it was during the Great Recession: Sit back and wait for the “free market” to provide. Getting people working, getting them paychecks that could feed back into the economy, was “socialism” and an abandonment of American ideals. No, the Galtian hordes felt that the only way America could remain “great” was if the businessmen benevolently created millions of jobs instead of amassing more wealth.

Their biggest problem was that their economic theory said that what happened was impossible. There was a brief ‘teachable moment’ till someone found an absolutely absurd way to blame it on Jimmy Carter and black people.
