I remember after Carter, the country was in a world of shite. Big Ron over the next 8 years created 20 million or so jobs. And not none of this Obama "saved or created" bullshite.

I'm not sure about oil production and all that at the time, I wasn't born until 82', but I know places like Houma, Laff, Morgan City and so on had some major booms around that time up until the late 80s I believe there was a crash. May have been early 90s..... Not sure if Reagan had anything to do with being energy friendly
Him throwing dollars at the Afgans because he was scared of communism may have actually bit us in the arse 20 years later

With "welfare " programs like Earned Income Credit he greatly /proudly expanded?
" The Earned Income Tax Credit is the best anti-poverty, the best pro family, the best JOB CREATION measure to come out of Congress".- Reagan
He did get a little deregulation through like the Savings & Loans industry which was eventually bailed out by the government.
Maybe he attacked some programs & used rhetoric to pander to a certain demographic ,but Social Security ,Medicare/Medicaid & the Safety net programs are still steaming along.

Thing about presidents and jobs and economics is so full of bullshite. The biggest mover in those areas are the business cycle not the policies of one person, even a president. As for Reagan, I was a Reagan kid and still like him for his attitude and love of the USA. Some of his policies and scandals though are very bad. I would put him in the middle ground of US presidents.
