Things went from bad to worse. I have NEVER understood how his economic policies were considered good.

Plus, Jimmy Carter is, in my opinion, one of the top two or three Presidents of the 20th Century. I can only hope I (and he) will live long enough to see this clearly understood.

For the 1%. Big business loved the guy, and they've worked very hard to maintain the illusion that Reagan's presidency was something to aspire to instead of the colossal failure that it really was.
