You can try to spin that anyway you want but Carter was a disaster and Reagan was a winner


Someone thought they were being clever with posting "average" job creation.

Reagan inherited the Carter mess and it took time to get out of that hole with Tax Cuts and getting rid of massive Regulation. Even Democrats went along with much of it to their favor since they were still a working mans party back then and Reagan got a lot of Democrat Votes in both elections.
