1. Ronald Reagan
2. Bill Clinton
3. Gerald Ford
4. GW Bush
5. Jimmy Carter
6. GHW Bush
7. Richard Nixon
8. Obama
9. Lyndon B Johnson

I am basing this almost entirely on economics.

People forget that Reaganomics began under Carter. Carter deregulated airlines-1978, trucking-1980, banking-1980. Carter in 1980 propsed a tax cut and higher defense spending.

Nixon floated the USD, tried to regulated wages and prices.

Ford was a fiscal conservative but after Wategate and 1974 elections many of his vetos were overridden.

Clinton as #2.

Reformed Welfare, Passed NAFTA, Cut the capital gains tax in 1997 and repealed Glass Steagal in 1999.
Federal Spending fell from 22% of GDP in 1993 to 18% in 2000. In fact Clinton might be #1.

Nixon. Helped ended Vietnam
Ford.   Brought war torn Asia to peace process


Homeland security presidents


Carter. Had no military operation during presidency

Carter had Operation Eagle Claw and LBJ, really??? War consumed his entire presidency. Clinton reformed welfare, not taxes.
