As someone who was an adult during the Carter and Reagan administrations Jimmy Carter started the deregulation debate and he set in motion money to study the idea. He was definitely in support of it, but faced significant opposition in his own party But it was Reagan who actually executed on it. The unions and a significant amount of Democrats opposed both of them. Some jobs were lost but consumers greatly benefited.
