Biden says we are closer to Armageddon since the 1960s

[RED]

Yes he is correct. He has botched every foreign relationship on the chart, just as the 1960s Democrat that won the loves of the media and wrecked relations with NATO and France in general (De Gaulle ate his lunch). The Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis in particular.

In my book the worst modern Presidents were JFK, Biden, Richard Nixon, Bush I, Obama, and Gerald Ford.

JMHO

Carter didn't make the list?

[RED]

No. Carter was not why the the economy tanked. It was the Socialist wage and price freeze actions Nixon used to try to stop inflation. All it did was to shovel the harm on to the Carter administration.

Ford put a stop to gas rationing presented and pressured by the democrats. I remember him saying "I will veto any action presented in the way of rationing gasoline." The democrats had warehouses full of the rationing stamps ready to implement and starve America.

Gas rationing would have crippled this country.

Ford was unliked and unpopular due not being elected. What did he do that was so bad to place him below Carter?

[RED]

You are right. Nothing Ford could do to fix Nixons mistakes.

I sat at a dinner table with some important people including Gerald Ford. In his speech to the audience he explained clearly that Government spending was the problem and there was no way he could fix that?

You are right.

Remember, there was a lot that Trump wanted to do but couldn't because the House and Senate for the most part worked against him.

Ford was no different. Nixon left office at the verge of impeachment. Ford was placed into office and was resented because he wasn't elected. Everyone worked against him so as bazaar as it sounds there was probably a lot of truth in what he said about not being able to reduce government spending.

I'll always consider him among the best due to not rationing gas. Reagan furthered that and supported Ford's decision when he was elected.

He was no ball of fire about getting things done but he had no one to work with. At the time the atmosphere was bad for the GOP (due to Nixon and Agnew). The democrats took advantage of it and caused it. Both parties worked against Ford to further their own careers.

Was mentally comparing Reagan and Biden. Reagan fired the air traffic controllers. Seems kind of unbelievable but it worked. Planes didn't fall out of the sky. We just had a near strike of the railroad. Trains don't fall off the tracks but they haul real stuff not tourists. It didn't take but a day to cave in to the railroads. But I wonder if it was the right move? The goods pipeline seems to be full of leaks and you can't couont on getting anything delivered (so they say, I don't seem to have a problem with Ebay or Amazon). So a rail strike would be the end of the world right? Maybe, maybe not. Just another strike in the history of strikes. Were the rail workers starving prior too? I don't think so. But Biden puked up his guts in the first 18 hrs. to give them what they wanted. These really are the Good Old Days. For a while. The next Prez: What! Where'd all the money go! What, a thirty billion dollar deficit (probably more, I don't know the numbers anymore)? Great freakin mess Biden. Thanks.
