Bill Clinton obviously.  Reagan introduced the concept of ridiculous totally pointless military expenditures while simultaneously cutting taxes on the wealthy.  We can thank Reagan for giving the troglodytes amongst us cover so they can believe we can blow $740 billion a year on pointless weapons and at the same time cut taxes on millionairs to <15% or even better 9-9-9.

Clinton illustrated for us what a reasonable tax rate can accomplish.  Booming economy and our debts are paid.

Agree with the above though FDR and Johnson would have to be the all time best.  They more so than just about any other president (besides maybe Lincoln) are responsible for us having a civilized modern society.  Instead of living like a bunch of savages.

I think you forgot that LBJ with his guns and butter policies let the inflation genie out of the bottle, and it was a long, hard road to shove it back in to the bottle, about 16 years 1966 to 1982, when the Gipper finally managed to exorcise it. Remember now anvi?  Smiley
