Laissez faillir = Andrew Mellon's hugely successful response to the crash of 1929.

Mellon's tuff-luv leadership saved the country from depression.

Don't let the Dems scare you, everything is OK = Herbert Hoover's take.

People were so enthusiastic about Hoover's response to the crisis that they showered him with fruit and vegetables on the campaign trail in 1932. And they named everything from blankets to boxcars after him! If it had not been for fear-mongering by FDR, groovy Hoovy probably would have won by a landslide.
