I grew up thinking Jimmy Carter was a terrible president. It’s just one of those things everyone says.

Now I’m not so sure. He might have been the last president to actually care about federal deficits and imposing some actual fiscal restraint on yourself.

Then Reagan comes along and blows out the budget (relatively for the time) and of course the economy rebounds. Federal fiscal spending does goose the machine for a time.

It's certainly very overstated. I think the fairest criticism is less around the economy and more around being weak-spined with the middle east.
