I remember has a kid the double digit inflation and hearing my dad, who's a NZ green card holder so can't vote, complaining about inflation and how bad Carter was.
The GOP is REALLY good at blaming other people. Look at the taxing of social security, if you ask most Trump voters who started that they will tell you Joe Biden did. He's the one that proposed taxing it when in Congress. Completely untrue, Greenspan, a Republican nominated by the Republicans created the Greenspan Commission and proposed it, then both houses approved it, biden voted yes, and then Ronald Reagan signed it.
But there's a generation of Republicans who think Reagan was the greatest POTUS ever, Trump challenging him now, and they have no idea what Reagan actually did.
