Jimmy Carter's domestic energy policyIt took the strength of Ronald Reagan, with order and method, to correct that mistake.
I haven't even mentioned Jimmy Carter's domestic energy policy, mandating a 55 mph maximum speed limit even on Interstates, or his domestic monetary policies that drove the cost of fuel and interest rates skyrocketing. How did Jimmy phrase it, an era of malaise?
When he first entered the presidency, with only the experience of Georgia governorship under his belt, this country boy from Plaines, Ga, became enamored with the presidency's powers and what he could do. First,
he grew government by creating the Departments of Education and Energy, which have become costly, if not useless, bureaucracies that still exist today doing more damage than good. Like all Cold War presidents, Carter's handling of the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan, coupled with his rising federal spending, were decisions that alienated American voters. Abandoning Afghanistan, in the manner Biden did, was his first disastrous foreign policy step that rendered America weak in the eyes of its enemies.
As a parallel to today's politics, Carter's comparison to Biden's is to argue that Biden's policies have led to similar voter disgust. Both Carter and Biden inadvertently laid the groundwork for the significant political shifts toward conservatism in their respective eras. Jimmie's policies ushered in the great conservative Ronald Reagan.
By contrast, Biden's policies ushered in a return of the greatest fighter for a great America, Donald Trump!Remember, freedom is the goal; the Constitution is the only way. Now, let's help Make America Great Again!
Happy New Year, y'all!
