LBJ going away is the worst, and here are some of the reasons:
1. Carried on Vietnam thinking the war could not be won, but was unable to muster the courage to say so, and let the faucet flow of American men into the bathtub, and down the drain at the bottom.
2. Guns and butter led to letting inflation out of the bottle, and it took close to 20 years to get it back in, with years of stagflation and recession.
3. Was a liar and corrupt, abused the FBI, and paved the way for Nixonian and to some extent Clintonian politics.
4. Helped weaken the family with the misdirected metrics of the War on Poverty, that exacerbated the underclass which festered until welfare reform in the 1990's.
5. Pushed through a poorly designed medicare system that was neither means tested nor triaged.
