However, I tend to blame Reagan for just about everything. Certainly, he stopped Carter’s renewable energy initiative dead in it’s tracks. Carter was calling for 20% of our energy from renewables by the year 2000. Imagine what the world would be like today if Carter’s plans had been carried out. This is why I say Reagan Killed Us.</p> Reagan did the significant jiggering of the unemployment numbers (dropping “discouraged workers,” adding the armed services… things like that if memory serves.)
