Didn't do everything right as president, but a good man who mostly tried to do the right thing for Americans. Particularly exemplary since leaving the presidency.
The average U.S. person would be much better off today if he had won in 1980 instead of it being the beginning of deregulation and Reaganomics.
- zeroonetwothree 2y agoMore deregulation passed under Carter than Reagan.
- hylaride 2y agoCarter’s deregulation was more market-oriented, though. Most of it (especially trucking and airlines) are still in place. Reagan’s were more “business-friendly” and resulted in various problems, especially in banking. The savings and loan crisis happened under his watch and we’re still dealing with a lot of the imbalances of financial deregulation.
- energy123 2y agoDeregulation isn't automatically bad or good. Some regulations need to be removed, and some shouldn't be removed or should be added.
- BluSyn 2y agoReasonable take not allowed. Must be for or against so I know what ideological bucket to place you in based on current tribal alliances that may or may not change.
