Ford? Nah, he was clearly inconsequential. The oil embargo and inflationary pressures came to life under the liberal Nixon administration. Ford did nothing in his two years. Then Carter came in and each of Nixon's problems got worse. The gas shortage worsened, causing even/odd plate number gas lines.

Remember the "misery index"? Carter.

When Reagan took over, the Dow was under 700 and the misery index was a triple double. The Soviets were threatening. The Ayatolla was holding our citizens hostage. And the tax rate for high achievers was 70%.

Hell, even Hillary cashed in on the Reagan Boom. :-)
