C'mon, Carrol, Carter was bad, but Reagan was a lot worse. PATCO. Star Wars. Libyan hit squads. Central America. The Uruguay round. Supply side lunacy. Carter did/would have done milder versions of these things, or not at all. As political figures, Carter was a joke, and Reagan did a lot to change the world.
