He fucked up big time by shutting down nuclear reprocessing. The effect on proliferation is negligible and we still don't know what the hell to do with huge amounts of mixed-material waste.
France, Finland, and South Korea have far more sustainable nuclear programs.
Recently learned that it was his administration that gutted and destroyed the truckers union so I stop with giving him so much praise now. Truck drivers are now making minimum wage because of deregulation.
I'm sorry, but no. I will say that Jimmy has done great things with his time post presidency, but his actual administration was so flawed it led to a Reagan landslide. You should check out this documentary about the Iran hostage crisis, Carter is a direct factor in the start of the Iranian revolution that has turned it in to a theocracy.
I'm a leftist so I want to like him, I really do. But frankly the more I read, watch and learn about the Carter administration the more I understand how we were afflicted with a "Reagan Revolution". Jimmy had good intentions and was/is a good man, but his failures is a big reason democrats shifted to centrism with Clinton.
