Wondrous Woodrow
After that great talk with Taft, I met up with Woodrow Wilson- the winner of the 28th presidency after Taft. His presidential platform really followed the Progressive way of finding a "New Freedom" that would reintroduce real competition in the market and getting rid of monopoly's and trusts. Though this platform fell through the cracks when he actually became president...he lied and began to regulate monopoly's rather than destroy. He did manage to create the Federal Trade Commission that helped economics as well as he lowered the tariff. So underneath the lies, came some good (he didn't like the word "lie" but since he's dead now, I believe it's okay)
