Also, it's fair to say that in 1979, we could have done with some deregulation. Untested, it wasn't absurd people voted for him.

The people who voted for him wanted a huge nuclear arsenal. Supported amping up the Cold War and objected to implementing an energy policy that would have revolutionized the world and would’ve given us a chance to fight climate change.
Reagan amplified everything that was bad about America ten fold.
And ftr I’m glad he suffered for years and died like a little bitch wearing a diaper.
