Carter sabotaged Carter’s reelection
He must be close to being past tense...
Beat me to it. Yup! Carter sabotaged his own re-election, all by his onesies.
Yep. You two beat me to it.
And…. The institutional insanity established under that evil revolutionary persist to this day. His ineptness drove the economy down so far so fast that it took Reagan 5 or so years to right things.
The stuff that I professionally had to deal with were things coming out via the EPA, Department of Interior and Department of Energy. On the personal front, he created crushing inflation + stagnation in wages, crashed home values, skyrocketed interest rates, fuel embargoes, high unemployment. It sucked. I get ticked off just at the mention of that aw’ shucks peanut farmer. What a fake.
His brother Billy Carter was pretty entertaining though. I wish I had bought a case of Billy Beer.
