Carter appointed Paul Volcker.  Enuff said.

Carter wasn't the best president, but he gets a worst rap than he deserves.  Nixon was without a doubt the worst president of my lifetime with his price controls and untying the dollar completely from gold he has caused more long term damage to the country than anyone since FDR or Wilson earlier in the 20th century.   Look at every economically relevant chart and everything takes a turn for the worse in 1971.  

 

 

Yea it seems pretty clear untying gold from the currency is what caused the rerating of the dollar for the next decade. Nevertheless it created generations of academics who now study and claim to be “inflation” experts. It’s why everyone missed the obviousness of supply chains being the route of covid inflation.
 

Force anything to have a long term tied at the hip relationship, and then set it free, crazy shit will happen.

Yeah, what a horrible prick. Why would anyone in their right mind want to serve with honor in the US military and stay married to the same woman for their entire lives. The douchebag actually built houses for a bunch of losers after he left office. Not only that but he wasted a bunch of time and resources flying around to 3rd world shitholes mediating conflicts.

 

If I'd been elected and handed an economy like he did, plus the Iran hostage situation, and I'd been a bit of a prig and refused to work with other politicians out of some misguided sense of morality, I think I would've just gone around and fucked a bunch of ho bags and porn stars and lived the life after leaving office, in an attempt to compensate for the shortcomings of my administration.

 

Almost forgot, the guy actually had the gall to try and run a successful farm in the 20th century? What a fucking loser.

 

Dude was a gaping asshole.

 

edit: Forgot about Volker. Another gigantic asshole. What was he thinking? Political careers could have been destroyed with his reckless behavior. What a dick.

He actually deregulated more than that - he deregulated the trucking industry as well and ai think the deregulated of the telecom industry started under his administration too. Camp David (peace between Egypt and Israel) was a huge success, I don’t think he was the worst president but one of the most unlucky ones. The Soviet  invasion of Afghanistan and the fall of the Sha regime happened under his watch and hardliners called for US intervention. However history Sowjets that he was probably correct not to intervene.
