Jimmy got 3.5 things right in his four years: (1) effective abolition of the ICC, which set truck rates for interstate shipping, (2) effective abolition of the CAB, which set airline rates for flights between states, and (3) effective abolition of Reg Q, which fixed the prices banks pay for deposits. Give him a half point for the Camp David accords, which brought peace between Egypt and Israel for the past 35 years, where there really had been none for the previous 35 years. Otherwise his administration was a disaster.
Reagan got it all right; after seeing that trickle-down government was an obvious failure in the 1970s (as it has been during the Obama administration), Reagan endeavored to constrain the bureaucrats, and indeed we had 25 years of pretty steady growth, until the democrats took control of Congress in 2007.

Jimmy also gutted the space program because all that science stuff just wasn’t Christian enough.
