Other than his tax cut and the Space Program what did he do? The Ruskies fired the Nukes in Cuba we find out after they opened their books and they didn’t launch ( great equipment aye ) , they just sat their, and we knew he shived the freedom fighters, so how good of a POTUS was he? IMHO Truman and Ike were way better, heck Nixon was better....

... what did he do?

He did revamp the military to some extent.

The tax cuts, well, he wanted to do them, but since his time in office was cut short, for reasons far beyond my ken, Johnson was the one that pushed the tax cuts through.

Out of character for LBJ and most of those in Congress, from what I've read. Maybe LBJ did it in expectations of failure so as to blame JFK, and dampen the myth, and raise taxes even more?
