Comment on When was the last time a Republican Oresident left office with a good economy?
MrFappy@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI’m happy to know that I’m not the only one who notices this. Democrats lay out a beautiful table with a wonderful meal for all, repubs come in and say “wow, look what I made!” And then proceed to have a food fight, after which a dem has to come in and clean it up. The one that I’m curious about is Carter leading into the 80s. Did he do things to set the economy up proper, or was it the result of a rubber band effect from the global economy being overall shit at the time.

Carter became president during the absolute height of stagflation & the Iranian Revolution and only had 4 years to fix it.
HE WAS FUCKED, no matter what. Unbelievably unlucky president.
