LOL, the US economy has rarely ever been as good as it was during Johnson's term.

I mean, yeah, he showed you could literally spend yourself to prosperity. He didn't show you could do it for long.

So it's just a coincidence that the era of economic stagnation for the middle class began during Nixon's term and solidified under Reagan?

Given that Ford was the first president to try to even contemplate confronting the absurd policies of about 1964-1964, uh, sure? I'm not particularly interested in defending Reagan or neoliberalism in general (I'll note that he had at least 2 good initiatives undermined by his successors), but I tend to regard Johnson as the turning point towards doom.

Any actual argument for why, or does it just suit your ideology better?

I'm on mobile right now, but, if I had to give reasons, so I'm trying to confine my posts to sizzling #hottakes.

Can't argue with that. Tongue
