Jimmy Carter or Trump 45?

I think that it's an interesting question and one worth studying

Nobody in history spent as much as Trump & Biden, so Carter.

But in many ways he was too much that way. High taxes were strangling the economy at the time

Reagan restored hope and confidence to the American people and reestablished the US’s reputation of strength

His tax policies also set us on a path of greater wealth

Except for when he implemented the at-risk rules and PAL rules which ruined the housing sector and caused it to become corporatized.

We have no way of knowing this yet. The longterm costs of just the Dept of Education both monetarily and culturally can't be quantified in a manner any american can accept.

Carter by far. He was a fiscal conservative. He even shut down the government in a fight with the Speaker over the deficit spending in the budget - and the Speaker was Democrat Tip O'Neil. It wasn't until the 80s when they tried to gaslight the public into thinking debt was good.
