[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2504468, member: 2189"] That is fairly accurate statement which interestingly enough both liberal democrats, those especially who dislike Reagan and his brand of so-called conservatism, along with conservative republicans, who see Reagan as some type of god-man, like to conveniently forget since that idea negatively effects their own narratives of history. In circa 2000', the Mises Institute, a libertarian free market think tank dedicated to the ideas of the Austrian Economic School economist Ludwig Von Mises, published a piece entitled, [URL='https://mises.org/library/rethinking-carter'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]"Rethinking Carter"[/B][/COLOR][/URL] that revisits President Carter and his economic policies and IMO rightly gives the man credit for what he actually did and started. Whether good or bad depends on the person reading the results. As the years have gone by since, more has been written and discussed as it relates to giving Carter credit as opposed to dumping it all on Reagan. And just as both sides of the isle wanted the truth buried about Carter, so too they did work in unison in crafting an illusion of Reagan that also had many holes in it. An illusion that happen to fit both their political agendas and in hiding their own true misdeeds and false advertising to voters. I also give credit to President Carter who not only lent his labor but his name to Habitat for Humanity that IMO clearly shows one model of grass roots, voluntary, spontaneous action that helps to solve a human problem without the need of a State program that requires force of coercion of others to achieve its goals. Part of the reason I've always considered Carter as the greatest Ex-President. That and he's a woodworker! ;) As for Neo-liberalism, BIG SUBJECT and too big to go into here. Maybe another time, another thread dedicated to the issue itself. [/QUOTE]
