    Reagan, he is the starting point of everything: the tax cut from 73% to 28%. USA never got back on track after this.

      Nope. Johnson.

      No, not that one.

      Andrew Johnson.

      So many ways it could have been better.

      He could have punished the Southern Aristocracy for starting the civil war. He could have ensured that the evil that led us there was exterminated forever.

      Failing that, they could have actually removed him via impeachment instead of falling just short. That would have at least established forever that the presidency is not some sacred “unimpeachable” office.
