When Ronald Reagan was inaugurated president in January 1981, he inherited an economic basket case from Jimmy Carter. He didn’t endlessly whine about how what he had on his hands was not his fault, and he didn’t enact policies and programs designed to drive the economy into a deeper hole.

No, he accepted the responsibility that he had asked for in getting elected, worked as hard as he could to not only get us out of the hole Carter had dug us into, but to make us more prosperous than ever. He succeeded, launching one of the greatest economic booms in US history.

(In the first Carter-Reagan presidential debate, Carter asked Reagan, “Why do you want my job?” Reagan quickly responded, “I don’t want your job. I want to be president.”)
