[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 864950, member: 7966"] While I don't think Carter will ever be considered a great, or even a good president, I do respect the tough choices he made regarding the economic conditions he inherited. The over spending of the Great Society debacle of Johnson's era and then the Vietnam War costs of both Johnson's and Nixon's eras left the country in an economic mess very similar to our current mess. He took the advice of Volcker and made economic decisions that was very courageous because it almost ensured he would not be re-elected. I don't believe the last three presidents would have had the courage to do what he did. Much of Reagan's success was set up from the groundwork that Volcker laid down. JMO [/QUOTE]
