That’s telling ... the 2 Presidents with the best numbers were also the two most ineffective Presidents of the group!
Obama and Carter ... LOL

Some people choose to provide the IRS with an interest free loan, at least they know within a few days when they'll get their money provided back.
Unfortunately when we provide the union with an "interest free loan" as in our retro checks, no idea when we'll get our money.

I like this list and pretty much agree with the rankings based on my readings over the years.
I saw a couple I would rate above Obama but then that true of almost all the rankings.
Wilson was a pathetic president ... I'm surprised he is above Obama. He should be in the bottom 5.
There is no way Lincoln should be #1 ... he screwed everything up except defeating the Confederacy.
I like IKE but I question his ranking of #5.

Bush Jr and Obama should be in the bottom 5 if 'fiscal responsibility' was a criteria.

These three should be in the top 10 in my opinion:
17. James Madison
18. Andrew Jackson
19. John Adams

Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, Obama, LBJ, Woodrow, all progressive garbage bottom of the list commies.

The real list is Washington, Lincoln, Reagan, Coolidge, Andrew Jackson, Cleveland, Monroe and Trump from saving us from a disaster called Hillary.

FDR was one of the most destructive presidents ever and the closest we have come to a dictator that these democrats making the list call every republican president.

He was the one who really pushed collectivism over the edge and redefined our relationship with the federal government. He is the reason I’m having to pay boomers to sit on their ass and collect social security instead of working for their retirement and that’s their top pick.

You do realize that there have been republican and democratic administrations and congresses a plenty that could have ended social security, right? And yet you want to blame FDR? Because generations actually like what he did?

And to hear y’all tail cry about “socialism”...no wonder millennial love the sounds of socialism. They see the boomers enjoying the hell out of it!

Social insurance, not socialism.

Social Security doesn't pay enough to just sit around. It does insure that seniors don't become severely impoverished, as well as orphans, disabled. It's the best thing that the Democrats ever came up with, and I paid into it just as you are, as we all are outside of a few unique situations like railroad employees.

Name some big government entitlements that have ever ended.

And that’s why you’re a boomertive.

So people do like socialism.

Well yeah, in my opinion we are born with socialist tendencies and leanings.

Like when I was around 6 years old I had the same political beliefs as Ocasio Cortez, why don’t we just give all the homeless people a home so they aren’t homeless.

Then you grow up and pay taxes, learn some history and find out the government is hardly ever the good guy.
