Which President(s) Of The Last 50 Years Have Done The Most Damage To The Country ?

[DontBeStupid]

FDR should have been on the list as he pretty much was the worst President of all time.

Why? How?

Don't be stupid.... The fact that he did internment camps is bad enough, but the other fact that he vastly prolonged the Depression should cover it... Not to mention the massive welfare program that cost more than anything else on our budget SS... Have you heard it will fail by 2030ish?

heh heh You're an idiot.

SS won't "fail". It's been pulling in a surplus for decades. What it will do is stop pulling a surplus and then only pull in 75% of what it needs. At which point, BY DESIGN, the Government will pay back the money it borrowed and SS will be fine until the Baby Boomers die off.

You blame FDR for something the neo-cons are actively trying to undermine? That's awesome.

Either the Government was overcharging for the program allowing them to keep raiding it for cash or they simply raided it for cash and it does not have enough... You pick.


"The report also indicates that Social Security ran a deficit last year for the first time since 1983, and it's projected to run deficits going forward."

"The report also indicates that Social Security ran a deficit last year for the first time since 1983, and it's projected to run deficits going forward."

From the article you posted ...

"Social Security would pay out roughly 75 percent of benefits through 2085"

So, either you agree with me, or you didn't read the article. Which is it?

If it's not paying 100% then it's failing numb nuts.

Fdr

Taking us from an essentially unarmed nation to a world power, assisting in the defeat of the Third Reich, and ending Japan's fascism was "bad" huh?

 

[Sherry]

Crap, I accidentally clicked on JFK.

 

[rightwinger]

George W Bush by far

Started two wars, trashed the economy, massive debt, engaged in TORTURE

But he dressed up LIKE a real soldier, which some find "awesome'....................

Politically and economically..Reagan.

In terms of world wide prestige? (Well also politically and economically) George W. Bush.

By far..the two most destructive American Presidents have been Ronald Reagan..and George W. Bush.

Yes, Batboy & Raygun.

But it was Reagan that started a vast shift in this country by destroying regulations, breaking laws and giving deference to corporate heads in terms of policy.

LBJ he was one of the most corrupt and crooked SOB you will ever find.

The point of SS is so when a retiree has his pension wiped out by a greedy corporation, or his 401K wiped out due to greedy bankers, he isn't left with nothing. If SS makes someone have more than nothing, it isn't failing.

I agree. FDR did the most damage by beginning the assualt on states rights, and moving our economy into a socialist drift. A well intentioned, but ignorant ass, who actually thought that the Soviet Union was a benign form of government with a happy and prosperous population.

True, but he didn't send thousands of Americans, better than himself, to be maimed & killed so he could dance around pretending to be a REAL soldier.

Carter.... 444 days that convinced Islamic fundamentalists that there were no repercussions for terrorism and ultimately led us to today.

And they were rewarded by Reagan/Bush I.

 

[Wry Catcher]

George W. Bush.

 

[rdean]

Honest Republicans say Bush Jr. Everyone else says Bush Jr.

Fdr

FDR did the most damage by far, but he doesn't fall within the 50 year parameter set by the OP.

 

[Unkotare]

Of the available options, Carter did the most damage to be corrected.
