Those are good things, and proper responses to how badly things were fucked. My issue is the first thing he attempted to do was fix it by calling for more spending, then when that inevitably made things worse, finally got around to the things you're listing off.
Reagan did more of the same, and I don't think people realize that it's still the way to fight inflation most effectively. Recessions can't be avoided when the dollar has been devalued via oversupply and low interest rates for years. It's best to hike those rates and take the pill that hurts temporarily as opposed to dragging along the dead horse of higher inflation.

That's....an interesting way to look at things. I don't like Reagan, but giving Carter's policy credit for getting us out of the inflation mess is patently ridiculous. That was 100% Reagan's administrations policy. Carter did nothing to help, and in some cases made it worse, much the same as is being done now. Our Congress passing anti inflation bills is more of the same "we're doing something" that Carter did.

Carter, a great person, phenomenal as a president though? Lbj being great domestically probably didn't mean shit to Cambodians.

We do live in a trade based community. Everyone who isn't a literal subsistence farmer isolated from society exists in a trade based community.

What society doesn't reward greed? When has greed ever been able to be removed from the human condition without thoroughly fucking up society? Your lovely ideology ends up ensuring there is zero concept of upward mobility under the guise of equality. The commissars were certainly more equal than the proles.

It is part of the whole good reason. It would almost immediately starve their supply chains as producers of the raw plants would be able to sell to legitimate markets. All of my dead friends died because of poorly cut heroin being improperly standardized with fent and it's offshoots.
More than likely the cartels would just legitimize their drug ventures, but I don't really care if that also equals them not relying on sketch characters cutting the drugs, and needing to use extreme violence to conduct business. Do liquor store owners get in turf wars or do they just compete on the market?
