What a crock. You are forgetting your history. Ford was after Nixon. Ford was getting the inflation to go down mainly by using the veto for deficit spending bills by the Democrats. Then along came Carter. So the rise in gas was not Carter's fault? Then why is it Bush's fault? Carter instituted price controls and some other fiscal policies. At that point things went from bad to worse. Johnny Carson caused a toilet paper shortage by saying we had one as a joke. The fiscal controls and policies ended up after the oil shortage went away causing the stagflation that I mentioned. Things just kept getting worse and worse. Then along comes Reagan and what happened. Different fiscal policies and things got better. Just dumb luck I guess.

Okay, if Reagan's policies were so great, why did he go into office with an 8 bill national debt, and leave with a 5 trillion dollar debt? Why did he never once balance the budget?

And all this took place when he had the support of the dems. (You recall the Reagan democrats)
Never, not once did he veto a bill only to have the house and senate overide his veto. So don't bother trying to lay blame on them.
