I think that’s more an issue of the last 25 years than the years before that.
Besides, that’s been an issue in Europe too. At least here in Belgium.
You can create something good and then mismanage it later. That’s not Carters fault I would argue

The DoE has been a complete & utter failure at educating our children and should be completely abolished. The teachers union has a stranglehold on education and it's past time it goes the way of the dodo.
Actually Nixon was the first to release his tax records. Trump did not you are correct but there was and is no obligation for him (or anyone else for that matter) to do so.
I expect the Department of Energy would indeed be bad at educating your children.
Yes, but at least they'd get a nice tan from nuclear power plants...
A really great man, not so great president. Pretty much a typical democrat however much nicer than the idiots we have now or had now. I wish Reagan was still here. NO fooling around.
That was specifically mentioned in the quote you’re responding to. Nobody thinks free’ healthcare is free.
It can be free at the point of service, whether otherwise payed for in advance by you or another in a given country, and it can be universal.
Neither of these facts are true in the US.
To be fair, this is a post about a former US president. This is literally a political post.
Tell that to Bernie Sanders, AOC and the rest of the woke college crowd who seem to think it's fair to dip into MY wallet for THEIR poor life choices.
Carter was a disgrace -- a total failure as president and a disaster for not only the American people, but freedom loving people everywhere. That is his true legacy.
We can thank him for the Mullahs in Tehran as he abandoned an American ally in need. He supported Hafez al-Assad despite his atrocities. He sold the Panama Canal for $1.00 undermining US interests. He presided over crushing stagflation -- runaway inflation comobined with no economic growth -- and then resorted to blaming Americans (on a national broadcast) for the runaway inflation caused by his own administration's policy failures. His weakeness was broadcast to the world as Iran took 53 American diplomats hostage for 444 days -- until they were released due to fear of the incoming Reagan administration. His administrative agency oversight was no better as Nuclear Regulatory Commission failed the country at Three Mile Island. So, he exhibited no understanding of foreign policy or economic policy and his leadership skills were terrible. Even as an ex-president he meddled in US foreign policy by befriending Hamas terrorists (which even Obama condemned) -- something no other ex president has done.
So, maybe he should have entered the priesthood or become a professional home builder or something else so he could project his so-called morality on people in a positive way. But his service as a public official was so horrible, it can only accurately be charaterized as a disgrace and nothing he did post-presidency makes up for the suffereing it caused.

Israel has shown more restraint than any other country in history in their reaction to Hamas mass murderers. And there is very little daylight between critiquing Israel and being a Jew hater. So don’t even go there.
It works out so well in Britain, where even they acknowledge they have the lowest survival rates for cancer and heart disease in the developed world.
If you read the Bible, Christ himself clearly says that lusting after another woman is adulterous. Carter could have lied or told the truth. He chose honesty and he won the election.
So you think it's fair that because you got a completely useless degree in Political Dance Theory that I should be on the hook to pay for the loans you took out?
In 1904 the Republic of Panama granted to the United States in perpetuity the use, occupation, and control of a zone of land and land underwater for the construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation, and protection of the canal. From 1903 to 1979, the territory was controlled by the United States, which had purchased the land from its private and public owners, built the canal and financed its construction.
We built that, the Torrijos–Carter Treaties gave it away...The treaties are named after the two signatories, U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the Commander of Panama's National Guard, General Omar Torrijos.

Don’t know what you’re on about, you sound very angry. Perhaps have a cup of tea and a sit down. It’s new year.
I believe that everyone should be helping everyone else in the best way possible. I believe that if one is lucky enough to have made wealth or been given wealth then it is their responsibility to help out people less fortunate than themselves, less able to be in the right place at the right time, or less able to be in a position where opportunities arise.
I most certainly believe this starts with education and ends with health. Both of which are and indeed should be the responsibility of the state, neither of which are particularly fair or accessible, at least in the US, unless you already have money.
Whilst it’s a perfectly valid choice to blether on about people taking what’s yours, without really understanding what one is saying; it’s really just as easy to try to empathetically understand the situation for other people, it makes one a better person and makes the world a better place.
Except the cancer rates are compared to other countries which also have national healthcare, except for the U.S. The top nations on that same list also have national healthcare.

“If I finance a revolution and make you the president of the new country, will you agree to give me all the land needed to build a canal that splits your country in half?”
Pretty much anybody would take that deal. It’s a great deal… for the guy who gets to be President of Panama.
I am not an expert in realpolitik but I am sure that the Monroe Doctrine essentially overrides this. So it is more like a happy occasion PR stunt and a formality.
Earlier it was common that women died during their pregnancy, but modern medicine has made this a rare occurrence. And abortion is never needed to save the life of a mother. Futhermore, abortion is more dangerous than childbirth: “One recent study concluded that immediate medical complications affect approximately 10 percent of women undergoing abortions, and approximately one-fifth of these complications are life threatening.” (https://aul.org/2013/08/13/known-health-risks-of-abortion/)
It is profoundly ironic that you think you believe in “equal rights of all,” and nonetheless are fine with denial of the basic right to life of millions of unborn children.
Thank you for your question.
In 1976, the Democratic Party adopted a platform plank opposing the Human Life Amendment. (The Human Life Amendment (HLA) would guarantee unborn children a constitutionally recognized right to life.) In 1980, the Democratic Party’s platform defined abortion as a “reproductive right,” affirmed the ridiculous Roe v. Wade decision, and labeled “reproductive freedom as a fundamental human right.” In stark contrast, in 1972 the Democrats rejected a platform plank asserting a right to abortion. Thus, the Democrats became pro-abortion when Carter was the titular head of the party. What Carter could have done, at a minimum, was insist that the HLA be part of the Democratic platform. In 1977, he did sign the Hyde Amendment (a policy that bans federal tax dollars from being used for abortions), and thus I wrongly and regrettably did not give him credit for that earlier. But, Carter supported legal abortion for at least the last 30 years of his life, a decision I am sure he now regrets.
