Carter caught the post Vietnam inflation (it happens after every war) then came the Arab oil embargo. He made some mistakes but he was dealt a rough hand. He had some decent programs that were designed to free our dependence on foreign oil. Every one was canceled by Regan.
Carter Inherited a screwed up economy and did some things to start it on the road to recovery.
Bush on the other hand stole an election in Florida and got a country in very good shape. In 8 years he has wrecked it in every way imaginable.
