I think a lot of the problems with the Carter era were inherited from Nixon. Carter came in right after the abandonment of the gold standard, and everyone in the economics world was clamoring for inflationary policy. Nixon-era regulations are what caused all the cars to run like garbage, and the OPEC embargo was a response to Nixon's foreign policy with Israel. That's what he stepped into. Reagan gets a lot of credit for stopping the inflation, but it was Carter who appointed Paul Volcker, the Fed chairman who got the inflation under control. The guy had lots of bad policies. Every president does. But some of the things Carter did were bold and successful. And even though I just bashed Nixon a lot, I think you've got to give him credit for de-escalating relations with the Soviets, splitting them up from China, getting out of Vietnam, etc. Every president has a mixed legacy. None of them are all good or all bad.
He consistently defended Hamas and terrorism in general and through Israel under the bus. Iran being the leading supporter of terrorism and probably millions have died now as a result of Iran, Terrorism and all their proxy states and terrorist groups, all blood on his hands.

The topic of this video has nothing to do with Jimmy Carter's legacy. He is best known for being the most honorable ex-president in US history. If you dig deep enough you will find he had a minor role in the deregulation mentioned here. It certainly didn't help end the oil crisis and it did not free the American hostages. Carter performed poorly in two monumental moments in which he was supposed to demonstrate he had what it took to be president of the United States. His image on the national stage was so weak he became known as the worst US president. Not even the great work he did after leaving office could erase how embarrassingly awful his single term was. If Trump got re-elected in 2020 Carter would still be the worst president ever.
@@Commander.Starfleet there are no regulations that are smart and streamlined. Regulations do nothing but create harm to the economy.

@@SHANECatLovinActivistHistorian He did a fair amount of conservation work before, during, and after his presidency.. There's a lot of information on the "A Life of Conservation" page of the "National Historical Park Georgia" website. Some highlights: • He was a charter member of The Georgia Conservancy • Vetoed the construction of a dam on the Flint River as Governor. • Supported Operation Migration along with his wife.
So this is the part where now everyone has only nice things to say about his disastrous term in office. He was a decent person, probably too decent for politics which worked against him.
It was disastrous. Airline ticket prices SPIKED ridiculously under Carter so why show a manipulated graph of them coming down after he left office? Prices were rising 5-6 percent the. Spike up almost 40% his last year in office. Cmon ReasonTV. You need to do better.
TRUE legacy of Jimmy Carter is this & we will never forget this: “We would do a disservice to Khomeini to consider him simply as a symbol of segregated education and an opponent to women's rights," Jimmy Carter’s White House. 1978

Sort of like Herbert Hoover. The guy did flood relief in China with his own money, and he himself was raised in an orphanage and was basically a self-made man. Brilliant engineer, just like Carter who knew the back end of a nuclear submarine, but both awful Presidents.
I always felt like he had to apologize for the U.S. being a great nation. He did not lift the nation up. He wanted us to feel mediocre. The world has plenty of nice guys. We need great bold leaders, too. Sorry Jimmy. You picked the wrong profession. Rest in peace.
Richard Nixon created a wave of resentment in America toward standard politicians. Jimmy Carter rode said wave and got elected because he represented a departure from business as usual. He was not prepared to lead an entire country. Being president isn't like being governor or a local senator. It didn't take long for Carter to realize he had bitten off way more than he could chew. The country found out he wasn't fit to lead as soon as the first major crisis of his time in office came. As they say, nice guys finish last. Good intentions don't translate into strong leadership skills.
This man deserved the Noble Peace Prize, Obama got it because of his skin color shortly after he was elected. President Carter got more recognition after his term as president than he ever did in four years. I primarily vote republican and had the pleasure of meeting him in Georgia when I was driving a truck in the 90’s and enjoyed the short 10 minute conversation I had.with him.
Good one! See my comments above about who ACTUALLY caused airline dereg, and how ridiculous fuel prices Carter caused are probably the REAL motive for dereg on not only airlines but trucks and trains, since the fuel made the regulated version too expensive to bear.
The national speed limit of 55 mph was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on January 2, 1974, as part of the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act. This law was enacted in response to the 1973 oil crisis to conserve fuel. Nixon, a Republican, was supported by Congress in this effort.
What are you referring to specifically regarding the 64° reference? The closest thing I can find is that the government made mere suggestions that people should attempt to keep their thermostats set at certain temperatures in order to save of fuel and electricity. I can't find a single mandate or regulation on manufacturers or anything.
Didn't apply to the energy industry. He grew the fledgling DoE and killed civilian nuclear power by hook and crook*, so his brothers at the Naval NRC could have carte blanc to build an all nuclear navy. * I can't prove it, but all the protests against nuclear power in that era seemed strangely "orchestrated" by govt. agents. (IMO)
Please read my earlier comments which amplify and complement yours. Carter CAUSED energy prices to rise insanely, then put on price controls which caused shortages, and it was the high energy prices which militated for dereg (to lower the cost of transport until we could get Reagan in power and lower energy prices as well).
When people die, we instantly make angels out of them whether or not they deserve it. Carter is often seen to be the most ineffective presidents, but this video has shown a side of him that should be shared and remembered.
@@VictorKB96 Which would hardly drive prices down. AvGas is petroleum based, too. But if you already have your answer, why ask the question? Trolling? Looking for engagement?
@@rapid13 the graph starts at a point in which prices peaked. Oil shock took place in 1979, a peak of oil prices. It was after that when prices started to go down
I lived under Carter. He was a disaster from the word GO. Airline inflation was running 5 to 6% until the last year of his presidency when it spiked over 38%. Carter caused the Misery Index and was so weak, a bunch of students took over the US embassy and held our diplomats hostage for 444 days. He weakened the military so severely that they couldn’t even send in a rescue team. Cmon ReasonTV. You need to do better.
I knew since mainstream hated him, he must have done something good. But I just didn't know what. This is very important stuff that people need to know about the man.
@@whousa642 he was a terrible president, but a good human being. He won't be going to h3ll but many other dems will be starting with OneBigAssMistakeAmerica--obama.
It doesn’t matter what you do as a person, if as a politician you do terrible things you will end up in hell. John McCain was no different, he should have his medals stripped from his record.
I can remember people complained about Carter (even though I was just a baby when he was President), saying how he had been a “do-nothing” President. Nowadays, I’m like, “Yes! Give us more ‘do-nothing’ Presidents!” LOL. I remember my mom liked Carter because he promoted peace. Several years ago, I read a fiction book co-written by Carter, and it was actually pretty good. He was a man of many talents. Rest In Peace, Mr. President.
When he ran for reelection a lot of Democrats voted against him. I know Democrats today who have told me that Carter was the last Democrat they voted for.
Deregulating a few things while adding many new regulations doesn’t make Carter worthy of the title “Great Deregulatory.” Glad he got something right though.
When Carter championed the creation of the Department of Education in 1979, the United States was widely regarded to be #1 worldwide in education. Now we are ~24th. Thanks Jimmy, you arguably did more to destroy the United States than any friend or foe before or since then.
To just blame Jimmy Carter is nonsensical..you don't just get to pretend that nothing has happened or changed in education since 1979. The education department under Bush 2 for instance was an utter dumpster fire, and probably did a lot more to damage things than Carter. And then you've got the increasing emphasis over the last 30 years on college degrees, the downplaying of vocational training..ballooning college tuitions etc...none of which Carter did. Not only that, it's natural that a huge amount of the world has caught up ..too many people forget how much of an advantage the U.S. had post WWI and WWII in that they were pretty much the only major power that hadn't had nearly an entire generation wiped out, or had their economies utterly decimated by having their cities bombed. We're not 24th in education because Jimmy Carter was awful, we're 24th in education because a)the rest of the world is pretty damn smart , and b)we've become incredibly bad at taking care of our own citizens' needs/
@ Not ‘just blaming Jimmy Carter’ there is plenty of blame to go around. We never needed a ‘Department of Education’, he, like so many others, sold us down the river.
@@traceyoung5592 Even the way you're framing that lends a malign intent to the creation of the department. We can have an argument on whether or not it ended up being a good idea...or was necessary etc...but at the end of the day, a society is going to constantly experiment with how it's structured to meet the perceived needs of the day. Carter didn't sell anyone down rivers..and in fact, I'd argue that among any of the presidents we've had since..he's probably the only one who wasn't intentionally, malignantly, operating at cross purposes to the U.S. citizenry. Post Carter, we've had one president who tanked the economy by the end of his terms and saddled his successor with it as well as selling illegal arms to foreign actors, having Oliver North go to jail over it, ignore the AIDs epidemic by scapegoating gay people..and be the original Biden with mental decline towards the end of his admininstration...Not only that, he gets credit for the hostages being released on the back of a deal the Carter administration worked out. Another president who was raping people while in office , bombing pharmeceutical facilities to distract from getting a blow job in office..dismantled certain banking standards that contributed to an economic collapse later...Another president who prosecuted a set of wars that lasted long then Vietnam for no gain..eroded privacy rights, ramped up government surveillances..destroyed U.S. education standards more thoroughly than the creation of an education department ever could have done..and flat out allowed the torture of people. THEN we had another president who was allowing pretty much the same rights abuses, he just thought you should get warrant from secret FISA courts. Who gave huge bailouts to banks and the rich while basically giving a big middle finger to middle class and poor americans. Do we even need to revisit Trump or Biden, both dumpster fires (and intentionally so) in their right. Comparatively, Carter did a fairly honorable job considering the opposition he was facing. The U.S. hasn't had a legitimately good president since Eisenhower. At least Carter never lied us into any wars(thanks LBJ), never bailed out people who helped tanked the U.S. economy with bad business practices..or sold arms to drug dealers ..never abused his power by getting sexual favors from interns or lobbed missiles at hospitals because people were annoyed he was getting head in the oval office..never invaded countries..and actually made an effort to fix problems, and be honest about which problems we faced instead of scapegoating others. Maybe Carter looks better because of the absolute low bar everyone after him has set.
Those high mortgage rates as part and parcel of the elevated Fed rates are what put the bullet in the decade long misery that was the 70's stagflation. Maybe you preferred that continuing forever?
Deregulation is great until you deregulate so much it allows businesses to put profits over people. Considering that most businesses cause pollution I would hope that someone prices those costs into the product so it's no longer society holding the bag for that market failure.
The reduction in “quality” means that millions more have access to airline travel since the government pulled out of a business it has no business being involved in. Thankfully, if you want a quality service that far surpasses whatever was available in 58, you can fly 1st class or hire a private jet.
If you want to pay $1500 to fly from New York to LA (the adjusted price from 1978), you can get first class on Delta and still save $500. Or you can go with a FC ticket on American.
I’ve always wondered why so many republicans hated him. He did things republicans wanted but they were probably in the pockets of the airline and trucking industries who hated deregulation.
Jimmy Carter is the only president since the Geneva Convention that is not a war criminal. For that I will always respect and defend him as a good Christian man.
Even though Carter's presidency was judged as a failure largely because of external events he had no control over, his economic policies were far-sighted and bore fruit later. RIP. 💐🕊
While I understand that regulations need to be changed or eliminated from time to time depending on changing circumstances. Excessive de-regulation can also have negative effects as well. That is part of the reason why we are in the predicament we are in today.
Iran was no way in hell going to release those American hostages before the election took place. They punished him. Also talking about Israel being a colonial apartheid state and Palestinians suffering because of it. Both played a huge part in his defeat to Reagan.
It’s a shame Carter wasn’t as good a president as a humanitarian and preacher. Man truly lived to serve others but didn’t have what it takes to survive in Washington. In my opinion, that makes him better than most presidents.
Decent beer! That is Carter’s legacy, on the ground. Defederalization of fermented beverages belong’s to Carter. I was born after his presidency, but think of him every time that I go to a local brewery.
It should be remembered that he was the first modern president to try and downsize the overgrown federal government: something the sainted Reagan failed to do. Carter faced hostile opposition from his own party by trying to stop the runaway earmarks and pork barrel spending such as the massive Army Corps of Engineers water works projects throughout the South. He, not Reagan, finally stopped the worst inflation since the 1950s. He did this by curbing spending and appointing Paul Volker as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, who put a stranglehold on the money supply, instead of continuing to print more and more money. This, of course, caused a major recession, but by then, President Reagan was so popular (especially after getting shot), that no one noticed. After the thrifty Carter, Reagan was the one who spent like a drunken sailor and ignored skyrocketing deficits -- especially on ridiculous boondoggles such as his "Star Wars" initiative, the Neutron Bomb and other of Strangelove Teller's fantasies. The CIA failed Carter by ignoring the unpopularity of the Shah in Iran, who was regarded as an American Puppet dictator by his people. Thus, the embarrassing newsreels of Carter hugging the Shah and raising his hand high. Had we kept our nose out of Iran, no hostages would have been taken.
I think part of the problem is...a lot of things don't end up having an effect until after someone has left office...so Reagan gets credit for policies implemented before he had anything to do with it..Bush gets both some of the credit from Clinton leaving a relatively good economy behind, but also discredit for a lot of the bad policies that began under Clinton that contributed to the banking crisis..The other part of the problem is , presidents aren't operating as solo players..but often as players with opposition from even their allies on actually fixing the problems that face the country.
Reagan’s deregulation is still nothing to sneeze at, however you can chalk up much of his governmental failures to the Democratic retention of Congress and therefore the purse. I can’t necessarily excuse the paranoid-fueled ballooning of military spending and programs, however.
@@beans6784 That's fair to an extent, to be sure. But we very rarely see the same grace given to Carter. Let's not forget the fact that the Reagan administration was basically gun running , as well. I mean..there were some seriously illegal things going on that got swept under the rug because they couldn't get Oliver North to talk. And let's not forget that Reagan's economy finally tanks under George H. W. Bush, or that Reagan benefitted from the long term consequences of things begun under Carter.
2:53 this is technically true but only because that was the only thing airlines could compete on because you couldn't compete on price so instead they competed on services namely food and the quality of the flight
The guy literally started the Department of Education. Adding a federal department that handled something that should have been left to the states is hardly a good thing
Does anyone here think liberals and democrats would have anything nice to say about DJT when he kicks the bucket? I think not. They are the haters they claim to hate.
Isn't he also the one who put actual price controls on gasoline, leading to shortages? It could be that I am misremembering this, as I was just a small child when he was president. But if I am remembering correctly, price controls seems like a much worse regulation than any he might have removed from planes, trains, and truckers.
@@jeremykraenzlein5975 I could be incorrect. But I believe you might be thinking of Nixon regulating price controls on gasoline. I think Carter starting the deregulation of gas controls. Which ultimately was completed under Reagan. I didn't finish the clips, the comments had me figuring this was just gonna be cringe. But generally Carter deregulated beer, natural gas, gas, energy, trucking, trains, and some phone services under the telecommunications act.
@@Bash_Is_Bae I just tried Googling it, but it is hard to find a source that gives the actual history other than in tiny bits and pieces of history among much commentary. Basically, it looks like the truth is somewhere between our memories. You are correct that Nixon started the price controls, and there were further refinements to them under him, Ford, and Carter. It appears from my searches that some of Carter's earlier price control policies were more restrictive and made the problem worse, explaining my memory of them as "Carter price controls". But later in his term, Carter apparently realized that they were not working, and as you said he started the process of phasing them out, which Reagan would later accelerate. Given the mixed record, I can see why this tribute video didn't mention gasoline price controls. Carter is neither the hero of the story that you remembered, nor the villain that I remembered. But he certainly deserves credit for realizing that his original policy wasn't working, and making a major change in direction, all quickly enough to make a difference, starting the phase-out while he was still president.
My parents always told me Jimmy Carter was a nice guy but a horrible president. I did not know about the deregulation. That is certainly to his credit.
We are so doomed because people conflate terms (and like incoherent comments). Socialism provides everyone the basic necessities. Deregulation increases profiteering on necessities so that it guarantees a high level of poverty. Socialism guarantees everyone an income. Deregulation permits slave labor. They are opposites.

Nothing is worse than having unelected bureaucrats go around congress and determine policy. SCOTUS has caught on to this, and they have even put a stop to a lot of these regulations. The recycling regulations are the worst.

• Vetoed the construction of a dam on the Flint River as Governor.

True enough on that 😌
TRUE legacy of Jimmy Carter is this & we will never forget this: “We would do a disservice to Khomeini to consider him simply as a symbol of segregated education and an opponent to women's rights," Jimmy Carter’s White House. 1978
Zbig Brzezinski has been all about utilizing islamic jihadi as false flag mercenary forces, even today with alqaeda and isis and he just succeeded again in Syria. 1979 Tehran was his first opus. Fooled Americans brilliantly. No wonder the embassy rescue attempt had to fail

The nicest man who never should have been POTUS.
Sort of like Herbert Hoover. The guy did flood relief in China with his own money, and he himself was raised in an orphanage and was basically a self-made man. Brilliant engineer, just like Carter who knew the back end of a nuclear submarine, but both awful Presidents.
He probably would have been a good president in the first 100 Years of our country, but not cut out for the 20th century.
I always felt like he had to apologize for the U.S. being a great nation. He did not lift the nation up. He wanted us to feel mediocre. The world has plenty of nice guys. We need great bold leaders, too. Sorry Jimmy. You picked the wrong profession. Rest in peace.
Richard Nixon created a wave of resentment in America toward standard politicians. Jimmy Carter rode said wave and got elected because he represented a departure from business as usual. He was not prepared to lead an entire country. Being president isn't like being governor or a local senator. It didn't take long for Carter to realize he had bitten off way more than he could chew. The country found out he wasn't fit to lead as soon as the first major crisis of his time in office came.
As they say, nice guys finish last. Good intentions don't translate into strong leadership skills.
I was born after he was President, so I only know him as the incredible humanitarian. RIP Jimmy Carter.
At least, he was coherent
Sitting on this for 10 years

This man deserved the Noble Peace Prize, Obama got it because of his skin color shortly after he was elected. President Carter got more recognition after his term as president than he ever did in four years.

peace prize because? the overthrow of the shah in Iran? maybe it was the failed hostage rescue? maybe the jonestown massacre?
Carter deregulated the highway speed limit to 55 mph and home thermostats to 64 °F...
Good one! See my comments above about who ACTUALLY caused airline dereg, and how ridiculous fuel prices Carter caused are probably the REAL motive for dereg on not only airlines but trucks and trains, since the fuel made the regulated version too expensive to bear.
Reagan mandated states set the speed limit max to 55. If you state didn’t comply, the were threatened wi Fed Highway Funds being taken away.
The national speed limit of 55 mph was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on January 2, 1974, as part of the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act. This law was enacted in response to the 1973 oil crisis to conserve fuel. Nixon, a Republican, was supported by Congress in this effort.
What are you referring to specifically regarding the 64° reference? The closest thing I can find is that the government made mere suggestions that people should attempt to keep their thermostats set at certain temperatures in order to save of fuel and electricity. I can't find a single mandate or regulation on manufacturers or anything.
I will always remember him as the creator of the Department of Education and the utter disaster that good intention has been on our school systrm.
Dang, Reason had this video primed and ready. On a real note though, RIP Carter.
He’d been in hospice care for months, it’s not like this came out of nowhere.

I did not realize these things about President Carter and was not alive during his presidency. Thank you for the info!
Didn't apply to the energy industry. He grew the fledgling DoE and killed civilian nuclear power by hook and crook*, so his brothers at the Naval NRC could have carte blanc to build an all nuclear navy.
* I can't prove it, but all the protests against nuclear power in that era seemed strangely "orchestrated" by govt. agents. (IMO)
Please read my earlier comments which amplify and complement yours. Carter CAUSED energy prices to rise insanely, then put on price controls which caused shortages, and it was the high energy prices which militated for dereg (to lower the cost of transport until we could get Reagan in power and lower energy prices as well).
Interesting story, thanks for posting. RIP
Thank you for watching.
They had this video on standby.
When people die, we instantly make angels out of them whether or not they deserve it. Carter is often seen to be the most ineffective presidents, but this video has shown a side of him that should be shared and remembered.
Was shocked to see this on Reason! Very interesting
The music beds are unnecessary and distracting
There is a reason why in 3:09 the graph starts at 1979
Maybe because that’s when the airlines were deregulated? Just a thought.
@rapid13 and the second oil shock
@@VictorKB96 Which would hardly drive prices down. AvGas is petroleum based, too.
But if you already have your answer, why ask the question? Trolling? Looking for engagement?
@@rapid13 the graph starts at a point in which prices peaked. Oil shock took place in 1979, a peak of oil prices. It was after that when prices started to go down
I lived under Carter. He was a disaster from the word GO.
Airline inflation was running 5 to 6% until the last year of his presidency when it spiked over 38%.
Carter caused the Misery Index and was so weak, a bunch of students took over the US embassy and held our diplomats hostage for 444 days. He weakened the military so severely that they couldn’t even send in a rescue team.
Cmon ReasonTV. You need to do better.
Thank you. I needed that.
His heart was in the right place, IMHO.
I don't know - personally- anyone that voted FOR Carter. Everyone I knew was voting AGAINST Gerald Ford for pardoning Nixon.

I knew since mainstream hated him, he must have done something good. But I just didn't know what. This is very important stuff that people need to know about the man.

He eliminated or combined hundreds of state agencies in Georgia as governor.
It doesn’t matter what you do as a person, if as a politician you do terrible things you will end up in hell. John McCain was no different, he should have his medals stripped from his record.
I can remember people complained about Carter (even though I was just a baby when he was President), saying how he had been a “do-nothing” President. Nowadays, I’m like, “Yes! Give us more ‘do-nothing’ Presidents!” LOL.
I remember my mom liked Carter because he promoted peace. Several years ago, I read a fiction book co-written by Carter, and it was actually pretty good. He was a man of many talents. Rest In Peace, Mr. President.
A great time to be revisiting this subject, deregulation
The Australian gov needlessly killed my parents business. Causing great suffering to my family
20% interest, 12% unemployment and 10% inflation. Yea, I would say that he was pretty much a failure
I remember my parents having a 15% mortgage rate during the Carter administration.
When he ran for reelection a lot of Democrats voted against him. I know Democrats today who have told me that Carter was the last Democrat they voted for.
Deregulating a few things while adding many new regulations doesn’t make Carter worthy of the title “Great Deregulatory.” Glad he got something right though.
Rip jimmy
When Carter championed the creation of the Department of Education in 1979, the United States was widely regarded to be #1 worldwide in education. Now we are ~24th.
Thanks Jimmy, you arguably did more to destroy the United States than any friend or foe before or since then.
To just blame Jimmy Carter is nonsensical..you don't just get to pretend that nothing has happened or changed in education since 1979. The education department under Bush 2 for instance was an utter dumpster fire, and probably did a lot more to damage things than Carter. And then you've got the increasing emphasis over the last 30 years on college degrees, the downplaying of vocational training..ballooning college tuitions etc...none of which Carter did.
Not only that, it's natural that a huge amount of the world has caught up ..too many people forget how much of an advantage the U.S. had post WWI and WWII in that they were pretty much the only major power that hadn't had nearly an entire generation wiped out, or had their economies utterly decimated by having their cities bombed. We're not 24th in education because Jimmy Carter was awful, we're 24th in education because a)the rest of the world is pretty damn smart , and b)we've become incredibly bad at taking care of our own citizens' needs/
@ Not ‘just blaming Jimmy Carter’ there is plenty of blame to go around. We never needed a ‘Department of Education’, he, like so many others, sold us down the river.
@@traceyoung5592 Even the way you're framing that lends a malign intent to the creation of the department. We can have an argument on whether or not it ended up being a good idea...or was necessary etc...but at the end of the day, a society is going to constantly experiment with how it's structured to meet the perceived needs of the day.
Carter didn't sell anyone down rivers..and in fact, I'd argue that among any of the presidents we've had since..he's probably the only one who wasn't intentionally, malignantly, operating at cross purposes to the U.S. citizenry.
Post Carter, we've had one president who tanked the economy by the end of his terms and saddled his successor with it as well as selling illegal arms to foreign actors, having Oliver North go to jail over it, ignore the AIDs epidemic by scapegoating gay people..and be the original Biden with mental decline towards the end of his admininstration...Not only that, he gets credit for the hostages being released on the back of a deal the Carter administration worked out.
Another president who was raping people while in office , bombing pharmeceutical facilities to distract from getting a blow job in office..dismantled certain banking standards that contributed to an economic collapse later...Another president who prosecuted a set of wars that lasted long then Vietnam for no gain..eroded privacy rights, ramped up government surveillances..destroyed U.S. education standards more thoroughly than the creation of an education department ever could have done..and flat out allowed the torture of people. THEN we had another president who was allowing pretty much the same rights abuses, he just thought you should get warrant from secret FISA courts. Who gave huge bailouts to banks and the rich while basically giving a big middle finger to middle class and poor americans. Do we even need to revisit Trump or Biden, both dumpster fires (and intentionally so) in their right.
Comparatively, Carter did a fairly honorable job considering the opposition he was facing. The U.S. hasn't had a legitimately good president since Eisenhower. At least Carter never lied us into any wars(thanks LBJ), never bailed out people who helped tanked the U.S. economy with bad business practices..or sold arms to drug dealers ..never abused his power by getting sexual favors from interns or lobbed missiles at hospitals because people were annoyed he was getting head in the oval office..never invaded countries..and actually made an effort to fix problems, and be honest about which problems we faced instead of scapegoating others. Maybe Carter looks better because of the absolute low bar everyone after him has set.
After trucking deregulation, pay dropped, and people left the industry. You still have a nationwide shortage in the industry.
Thanks for the GAS LINES and 18.5% mortgage rates
Those high mortgage rates as part and parcel of the elevated Fed rates are what put the bullet in the decade long misery that was the 70's stagflation. Maybe you preferred that continuing forever?
Yeah, Carter caused the Oil Crisis. Just like Biden caused Covid.
ty, more short vids plz
Huh. Thank you for highlighting the brilliant deregulation efforts.
A magazine that calls it self "Reason" keeps pointing out this guys "Nobel prize" even though it's fake.
Deregulation is great until you deregulate so much it allows businesses to put profits over people. Considering that most businesses cause pollution I would hope that someone prices those costs into the product so it's no longer society holding the bag for that market failure.
Too bad he created the Department of Education. That wasn't deregulation.
Deregulation reduced quality in the airline industry, says this guy who has flown since 1958
Reduced quality but made it affordable for the common man
The reduction in “quality” means that millions more have access to airline travel since the government pulled out of a business it has no business being involved in.
Thankfully, if you want a quality service that far surpasses whatever was available in 58, you can fly 1st class or hire a private jet.
If you want to pay $1500 to fly from New York to LA (the adjusted price from 1978), you can get first class on Delta and still save $500. Or you can go with a FC ticket on American.
Good man, bad POTUS. RIP sir.
I’ve always wondered why so many republicans hated him. He did things republicans wanted but they were probably in the pockets of the airline and trucking industries who hated deregulation.
Jimmy Carter is the only president since the Geneva Convention that is not a war criminal. For that I will always respect and defend him as a good Christian man.
Even though Carter's presidency was judged as a failure largely because of external events he had no control over, his economic policies were far-sighted and bore fruit later. RIP. 💐🕊
Complete nonsense
People forget he was the one won who started intervention in Afghanistan. Usually, Reagan is given all of the Blame.
Thank you for this reminder. Once again, Zbig Brzezinski fingerprints all over it.
While I understand that regulations need to be changed or eliminated from time to time depending on changing circumstances. Excessive de-regulation can also have negative effects as well. That is part of the reason why we are in the predicament we are in today.
Iran was no way in hell going to release those American hostages before the election took place. They punished him. Also talking about Israel being a colonial apartheid state and Palestinians suffering because of it. Both played a huge part in his defeat to Reagan.
Good for you to acknowledge that is was Carter who deregulated, not Regan.
They both did. Carter just got the ball rolling.
Jimmy Carter was an embarrassing president.
FJB
Studying his term was a good prelude to understanding Biden.
It’s a shame Carter wasn’t as good a president as a humanitarian and preacher. Man truly lived to serve others but didn’t have what it takes to survive in Washington. In my opinion, that makes him better than most presidents.
Good human. Weak president.
He was a good man, a decent man, who had 4 bad years out of one hundred. Better than most.
Very interesting! However personally I can’t really listen because of the background music. Nevertheless thanks☺️
Jimmy Carter was a great ex-president, but a lousy president.
RIP
Was giving away the panama canal an example of his great leadership ?
Decent beer! That is Carter’s legacy, on the ground.
Defederalization of fermented beverages belong’s to Carter. I was born after his presidency, but think of him every time that I go to a local brewery.
That was very interesting.
It should be remembered that he was the first modern president to try and downsize the overgrown federal government: something the sainted Reagan failed to do. Carter faced hostile opposition from his own party by trying to stop the runaway earmarks and pork barrel spending such as the massive Army Corps of Engineers water works projects throughout the South.
He, not Reagan, finally stopped the worst inflation since the 1950s. He did this by curbing spending and appointing Paul Volker as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, who put a stranglehold on the money supply, instead of continuing to print more and more money.
This, of course, caused a major recession, but by then, President Reagan was so popular (especially after getting shot), that no one noticed. After the thrifty Carter, Reagan was the one who spent like a drunken sailor and ignored skyrocketing deficits -- especially on ridiculous boondoggles such as his "Star Wars" initiative, the Neutron Bomb and other of Strangelove Teller's fantasies.
The CIA failed Carter by ignoring the unpopularity of the Shah in Iran, who was regarded as an American Puppet dictator by his people. Thus, the embarrassing newsreels of Carter hugging the Shah and raising his hand high. Had we kept our nose out of Iran, no hostages would have been taken.
No one noticed the recession? Then why did the Republicans get slaughtered in the '82 mid-terms, well after Reagan was shot?
I think part of the problem is...a lot of things don't end up having an effect until after someone has left office...so Reagan gets credit for policies implemented before he had anything to do with it..Bush gets both some of the credit from Clinton leaving a relatively good economy behind, but also discredit for a lot of the bad policies that began under Clinton that contributed to the banking crisis..The other part of the problem is , presidents aren't operating as solo players..but often as players with opposition from even their allies on actually fixing the problems that face the country.
Reagan’s deregulation is still nothing to sneeze at, however you can chalk up much of his governmental failures to the Democratic retention of Congress and therefore the purse. I can’t necessarily excuse the paranoid-fueled ballooning of military spending and programs, however.
@@beans6784 That's fair to an extent, to be sure. But we very rarely see the same grace given to Carter. Let's not forget the fact that the Reagan administration was basically gun running , as well. I mean..there were some seriously illegal things going on that got swept under the rug because they couldn't get Oliver North to talk. And let's not forget that Reagan's economy finally tanks under George H. W. Bush, or that Reagan benefitted from the long term consequences of things begun under Carter.
That deregulation took truck drivers from middle class to poverty
Truck drivers make good money what are you talking about
2:53 this is technically true but only because that was the only thing airlines could compete on because you couldn't compete on price so instead they competed on services namely food and the quality of the flight
The guy literally started the Department of Education. Adding a federal department that handled something that should have been left to the states is hardly a good thing
The department of education really failed things...but I give him credit for deregulation
Truck driving used to be a reasonable career. Now it’s just horrible for drivers.
Does anyone here think liberals and democrats would have anything nice to say about DJT when he kicks the bucket? I think not. They are the haters they claim to hate.
The word liberal probably doesn’t mean what you think it means.
@ thank you for proving my point.
As an example across the pond, you should see the hatchet job the leftist actress-turned-MP Glenda Jackson did on Thatcher.
Isn't he also the one who put actual price controls on gasoline, leading to shortages?
It could be that I am misremembering this, as I was just a small child when he was president. But if I am remembering correctly, price controls seems like a much worse regulation than any he might have removed from planes, trains, and truckers.
Because he is dead, they are pointing out some of his few accomplishments. Nothing wrong with that.
@@jeremykraenzlein5975 I could be incorrect. But I believe you might be thinking of Nixon regulating price controls on gasoline. I think Carter starting the deregulation of gas controls. Which ultimately was completed under Reagan.
I didn't finish the clips, the comments had me figuring this was just gonna be cringe. But generally Carter deregulated beer, natural gas, gas, energy, trucking, trains, and some phone services under the telecommunications act.
@@Bash_Is_Bae I just tried Googling it, but it is hard to find a source that gives the actual history other than in tiny bits and pieces of history among much commentary.
Basically, it looks like the truth is somewhere between our memories. You are correct that Nixon started the price controls, and there were further refinements to them under him, Ford, and Carter. It appears from my searches that some of Carter's earlier price control policies were more restrictive and made the problem worse, explaining my memory of them as "Carter price controls". But later in his term, Carter apparently realized that they were not working, and as you said he started the process of phasing them out, which Reagan would later accelerate.
Given the mixed record, I can see why this tribute video didn't mention gasoline price controls. Carter is neither the hero of the story that you remembered, nor the villain that I remembered. But he certainly deserves credit for realizing that his original policy wasn't working, and making a major change in direction, all quickly enough to make a difference, starting the phase-out while he was still president.
My parents always told me Jimmy Carter was a nice guy but a horrible president. I did not know about the deregulation. That is certainly to his credit.
The President of Unintended Consequences.
He was a wonderful man
I think the tradition of not saying bad things about a recently deceased is wrong and should be ignored.
His tenure as US president may have been a series of incorrect decisions, but he worked to improve the lives of as many people as he could after.
My first President. He was the last person in the office who had a moral code that was not easily bought.
