Can you make a more coherent argument to respond to? Remember Carter was considered a do nothing president. I wouldn't really consider him a do nothing president, or consider a "do nothing president" (at least in relative terms, no president is really "do nothing") necessarily a bad thing. What policies did he put into place from 1977 thru 1980 that were a precursor to what you see from 1981 thru 1992? Well he did some deregulation that was continued under Reagan. He also, later in his term, made a small start toward rebuilding our military after its post-Vietnam decline. That was also continued. Since you claim it takes time for policies to take effect I think you should respond directly to the above question That doesn't logically follow. The fact that polices can take time to take effect doesn't always mean they take until the next presidency, or that every president makes policy changes with important long term implications.
