Grover Cleveland Is a Classical Liberal and My Ideal President

I am a classical liberal and my ideal president I often joke is somebody who would be elected and then I wouldn't hear from them again unless there was a war are you over lying in the intro of the book. Grover Cleveland says this particularly during his first term I'm saying no to people all day but he's constantly fighting intrusions on the treasury. He just doesn't do these little deviations from principle that help to sort of lubricate the political system which is one of the things that makes him so remarkable. How much of the credit does he get for that as somebody of of principle and restraint and how much of it is just that he happened to be alive in the late 19th
