Sedalia Dave Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 3 hours ago, Cypress Sun said: He was also the only president to ever enter and work on a highly radioactive nuclear reactor that was damaged and compromised. That's because he was a Nuclear Engineer during his time in the Navy. He actually understood better than any of his advisors what was really happening. 2 1 Quote

President Carter was also a brilliant engineeyr Which I think often worked against him. He got too involved and interested in the details and managing them and lost sight of the overall picture. Or became distracted from the overall picture. People blame him for inflation, but forget the group fornication of an economy he inherited from Ford. We were already in a recession with inflation starting to run away. Remember Ford and hus Whip Inflation Now buttons? And his tax hikes to fight inflation and almost immediate tax cuts to boost the economy? (I remember one of my friends in high school showing up wearing one of those. "You've got to be kidding! You don't really believe that, do you?" To which he replied, "Sure I do. 'Won't Indict Nixon'!") Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 One thing that I do really fault him for is the trend he started for former presidents of his party trying to stay in the public view, acting as if they still have some sort of power or authority, inserting themselves, unasked, into international politics. 3 2 Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 30, 2024 Author Posted December 30, 2024 I don’t think he purposely ruined the economy , he was just over his head. 6 Quote
