7. It worked for Calvin Coolidge

He was Governor of Massachusetts when the Boston police went on strike.

He fired them, called in the National Guard and within a year was on the ticket to be vice president, becoming president a few years later when President Harding died.

President Reagan said his favorite president was President Coolidge. The head of the air traffic controllers union I guess didn't know that about Reagan. Best to read your history.
