Only president to never start a war

>only president to never start a war
>started deregulation

Why isnt this man seen as one of the best the US ever had?

The GOP needed to reinvent themselves after Nixon, and Carter was needed to provide some contrast to Reagan.

So they went for time honored tactics.

>run up a massive deficit on an economy that's already recovering
>blame all of the problems on the last guy
>????????
>PROFIT

Also, the late 70s were hell.

he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. presidents often get credit or are blamed for things which they had no control over

To be fair, he became much more popular after he left the office, to the point that he is pretty well-liked now.

He was too honest.

>The state of the union... is not good.
Kek.

This. And the Dems abandoned him because he lost re-election. When you lose re-election, there's little incentive for your party to go out and protect your legacy after your chance is over. You basically failed your task and your party will look at your case of what they ought to do in the next eleciton. Meanwhile, if you managed to get two terms, and the State of Affairs isn't as fucked up as it was when Bush left office, your party is going to make you into a paragon for future candidates. They can't afford abandoneding them

Dude I know a lot of folks who were alive when he was in and they barely fucking remember him even being there

>Why isnt this man seen as one of the best the US ever had?

Iranian Hostage Crisis

conservatives thought he was weak so they voted for a guy that caused nothing but war

it's what the people want

I still can't get over how Republicans venerate Reagan, a man who slipped into senility halfway through his tenure as president

War has long been used by the ruling class to deflect outward toward a foreign threat animosities which would otherwise target them.

Which was funny because the Vietnam war was the original cause of animosities towards the ruling class.

should have stayed a peanut farmer, he was too nice for the Presidency

That was Gerald Ford.

>Mass deregulation is a good thing

The idea that industry is inherently good and that no safe guards are required on big business for the benefit of society is a utopian fallacy.

FEEL THE BERN xD

not an argument.

>only president to never start a war
Ike? like 85% of 19th-century presidents? Nixon?

Beause to American "people", not meddling in other nation's business means your nation is going through a malaise.
Tells you a lot about Am*ricans

alright lets make this simple Castro. Once upon a time some greek fella said 'a wise man knows hes a fool'. What the guy was saying was people aren't as fucking clever as they think they're.

So thats the main thing you gotta remember when you decide regulation, in other words do you have any idea what the consquences of placing said regulation in place would be? The answer is you have no fucking clue.

Another thing my power hungry friend is why should you regulate? The purpose of regulating is to keep the workplace and products/services safe in most cases. But who in their right mind would buy unsafe products? Your answer to that is well Joe Bloggs didnt know his meat pie contained mercury so we should ban unsafe meat pie production to prevent this from happening again. But think if this happened that Meat pie supplier would lose business quick and would most likely go bankrupt fast, and all these businesses that cut corners would die quickly and all the good ones would grow and establish trust in the market. So instead of burdening with economy with countless France-tier regulations (which will cause less jobs and most likely hurt more in the long run) let the people decide what they want, if they wanna take a risk and eat from Paki Ahudallahs Kebab Shop then let them.

Also 'FEEL THE BERN xD' is an argument you pretenious cunt, you dont get to decide whats what

>Nixon?
>what is cambodia

>also forgetting about all those wars against various indian tribes

>But who in their right mind would buy unsafe products?
Literally everyone, all the time.

>But think if this happened that Meat pie supplier would lose business quick and would most likely go bankrupt fast
No, they don't.
But even if your disgustingly stupid delusion was true, that's still many people being harmed by unsafe products all the while. Do you really fucking think the businessman cares if his business is sustainable when he can make bank, ditch the ship with no consequences and start again?

Unlike whatever warped fucking theories you have, there is direct evidence of this happening throughout history all the time holy shit you are so subhumanly stupid.

>Cambodia
We were already bombing Cambodia with troop movements inside their borders under Johnson. Nixon was just the first to take it public. You should really read The Pentagon Papers user.

>also forgetting about all those wars against various indian tribes
>internal conflicts
>war
"No."

his only two mistakes.

>not handing over the shah and getting the embassy hostages
>nuclear moratorium.

You also forgot:

>dooming American foreign policy by fucking off almost all of their allies

>Do you really fucking think the businessman cares if his business is sustainable when he can make bank
have you ever ran a business before? You don't just make bank, plus you do want a sustainable business as its fucking impractical to assume you can just keep on conning throughout life and finding shit you can keep on making profit on.

You probably got me on Nixon but come on dont be so literal on it, you know im trying to say Carter wanted peace and didnt further wars, infact he even stopped them. And come on burning and taking indians homelands is war whether its legally done proper or not

checked

>you know im trying to say Carter wanted peace and didnt further wars, infact he even stopped them
He literally began the American intervention in Afghanistan...

>And come on burning and taking indians homelands is war whether its legally done proper or not
Except it wasn't their land anymore. It's an internal conflict and not war.

>deregulation is inherently a good thing

only by mooks

We arent positive the outcome will be perfect so we shouldn't do anything at all?
Couldn't that argument be countered by saying that we can't forsee the effects of inaction and therefore we must act?

Basically you said a whole lot of nothing aside from your little meat pie scenario. Which came off as comoletely naive to me. If somebody was selling meatpies full of mercury or other carcinogens and there was no government to test for this and stop them, then millions of people would consume this product for years, maybe even decades before anybody realizes its poison. The meatpie seller will have made millions in this time. And what incentive does he have not to? Sure peolle will stop buying his product in 10 years but hes already rich. Thats assuming he didnt get a monopoly on the market of course, in which case people will have no choice but to eat poison if they want meatpies. Worst case scenario is he pays off news outlets and independently funded FDA (if the free market even manages to produce one) and the consumers never even find out the meatpies are poison. Millions of people would die. You don't have to be a communist to see the value in regulation.

Even in your dream scenario where the poison is found immidiately, thousands are still potentially affected you fucking maniac lol

Regan won the Cold War, you dumb demonigger.

Read some history then, you stupid cuck.

When you have two dubyas + Reagan up for the last 35 years. The liberal president among them, who increased taxes and spending will be seen as an angel.

being there when your enemy kills themselves from their own issues does not "winning a fight" make

Gorbachev won the Cold War.

A harsh lesson Trump is going to have to learn

>>only president to never start a war
Not true.
>>started deregulation
That's not good in everyone's eyes.
>Why isnt this man seen as one of the best the US ever had?
Google "stagflation". And do some reading in general.

Just just going to blame everyone else. There's a reason why he picked Bannon of all people as chief advisor. He needs him to spin everything to his base and their confirmation biases. He's going to be Trumps chief propaganda advisor, because Trump really does not give a shit if he pisses off half the country as long as his base thinks he is the second coming.

>Companies have never war-profiteered

>Companies have never willingly utilized poisonous or dangerous chemicals in their products for the sake of short-term profit gain

>Companies have never utilized deregulation to spike product costs for no reason other than to line their own pockets further (The California Enron scandal, the recent case of the anti-viral drug cost spiking by 5000%, the fake oil crisis of 1970

>Companies have never lied about the side-effects of their product to the public (see the Monsanto Bovine Growth Hormone scandal of the late 1990's as an example that pops off of the top of my head, or the series of lead poisonings in baby toys in the late 2000's)

That the market will magically correct itself when corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars on false news reports, spin doctors, PR management, focus studies, hire 'experts' etc.. In order to sway public opinion away from the fact they just sold you a dangerous product for short-term profit goals, is a frankly ridiculous one.

I do not advocate for the abolition of established business, but businesses have both a moral and ethical standard they must maintain in society and for some reason, in this modern age, it's perfectly reasonable and acceptable for people to suffer the consequences of their actions in the form of The Law; but when Corporations end lives and break laws, morals, and ethics the market will magically punish them? Absurdity.

Dems had mostly abandoned him by the primary (Ted Kennedy)

pic related would have been our best president

>deregulation
>good

Boy ! You are wrong about so many things

I remember sitting in a business ethics class is college, and professor asked a question about liability. Everyone had an opinion on how to dodge it.

He then ask, "So regardless of who is' reasonable liable, does your company have an ethical responsibility to pay for damages?"

Repeatedly, the resounding response was "No, your only responsibility is to protect and enrich your share holders."

That's fucking terrifying. That's the world we live in - profit is the answer, and fuck everything else along the way. "Deregulate and let the free market decide" is magical thinking, and we have history and data to show that when you blindly deregulate, death, injury and abuse rise.

"Just fuck my shit up, senpai"

but didn't he and canadians covertly solve it?

No one can be this willfully ignorant

no regulations lead to a free market that the relations of power and money will generate a great monopoly, witch in the end gonna destroy the autophagy of capital and killing the hole system.
too much regulations strangle both the buyer and seller killing capitalism and any trade of capital and goods by it's roots.
the idea of a good state is the one that neither regulates or deregulates everything, but the one that is up to date to deal with the forces of the market yielding or diverting from them.

reeeeeeeeeeee moderate cucks

I agree actually.

FUCKING LIBERALISTS ALWAYS TRYING TO ATTACK THE LABOR CLASS

...

>but didn't he and canadians covertly solve it?
No. Iran relented a few hours before Reagan was inaugurated because they knew that Reagan was going to lay waste to Iran if they didn't.

>Cuban refugee crisis
>Iran hostage crisis

That guy was the cuck to end all cucks

He was the president we needed but not the one we deserved.

he was a sophomoric president who trusted a dictator to "reunite families" but instead just sent criminals

Carter is widely seen as too nice and moral for his own good. He tried to cut pork spending, and Congress immediately started giving him hell for that making his early attempts at legislation hell. Then there were the times Carter managed to get things past, only to have the situation change a few months later forcing him to essentially reverse course on his previous legislation. Americans hate the appearance of indecisiveness even it makes sense. Then the Iranian hostage crisis and the failure of the rescue mission sure as fuck didn't help things or his image as a weak leader.

Americans like a decisive strongman, and Carter was simply too weak to hold popular support.

He is an excellent Christian however, and the fact that he was president, has allowed him to perform unimaginable good with the Carter Foundation.

>Started deregulation
Answered your own question

I'm pretty capitalist but this retarded as fuck senpai.

He actually started the pious, born-again politician meme that led to the Religious Right.

That was Reagan.

Arming rebels =/= invading another country.

Because Reagan turned him into a boogeyman
