Carter’s Volcker Shock was an absolute give-away to Wall Street
Democrats forced half as many cloture votes in 05/06, the last year Bush had a Senate majority, as Republicans invoked in 07/08.

And dude are you really going to try and tell us the peanut farmer president was a bank man?
Carter was a nuclear technician with a 15 year long political career fixated on privatizing the state and national economy.

He was a spreadsheets guy.
