In reply to the discussion: Jimmy Carter Hands John McCain His Ass [View all]IronLionZion
(51,566 posts)23. Hell yeah, and never having Reagan
would have made a tremendous difference. Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever recover from what Reagan and W have done to destroy our country's economy as well as all the foreign policy messes they created while desperately trying to look tough.
Carter was not only better than they say he was, he was much better than many in this country deserved. They don't know how good they had it because of superficial nonsense instead of real policies that make a long lasting difference.
