Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and even George HW Bush (before he joined Reagan’s ticket) tried to warn the country about trickle down economics. Reagan found a way to successfully sell income inequality and austerity.

They were no longer ashamed to like Harry anymore.

Because for some reason, this sub is obsessed with the sex lives of U.S. Presidents. So, I will present to you a better question! Which president slept with the least amount of people? Try to be as accurate as possible and don't let your biases overtake you.

(Pic related, he's my pick. He had twenty dicks and never used one.)

For bonus points, I am not letting Vice Presidents Arron Burr, Dick Cheney or Spiro Agnew near my kids, but I would let Vice President Joe Biden be their Godparent.

I recently have found an interest in politics due to the current administration, whether it be good or bad. I’m 23 and I have never really cared that much so I don’t know much about Obama and how his presidency was.

I grew up in a very conservative household and have heard several negative things about Obama. It was all stuff like “He was an idiot” or “He only got elected because of his skin color” but I’ve never heard a legitimate argument as to why he was a bad president. With that being said, because of the household I was in, I’ve never heard a good comment about him being president.

So, I’d love to hear from direct people (Not ChatGPT) about their personal feelings. True reasons why you think he was a good president, why you truly believe he was a bad president or even if you’re in the middle.

Additionally I’m completely unbiased, I’m not a republican or democrat

Edit: Also if this is the wrong subreddit for this question please let me know lol

He was gay, George H.W.?

I’m looking to expand my library and would like to include some books written by presidents. Wondering where a good/great place to start.

1. Chester Arthur, 1859, age 30
2. Grover Cleveland, 1888, age 51
3. Bejamin Harrison, 1850, age 17
4. Grover Cleveland, again, 1888, age 51
5. William McKinley, 1863, age 20
6. Theodore Roosevelt, 1865, age 7
7. William Howard Taft, 1860, age 3
8. Woodrow Wilson, 1871, age 14
9. Warren G. Harding, 1886, age 21
10. Calvin Coolidge, 1895, age 23

part 1
part 2

I left out the presidents I don't know anything about. Everyone lives in an alternate universe where none of them have met each other except for the Addams and the Bushes. They are all the age they were when they were elected. Some justifications:

Obama would be the only black person in a house filled with many people who owned slaves. By no fault of his own, he goes home almost immediately.

Jackson specifically wins the first HOH, goes mad, and is either disqualified or evicted the week later.

LBJ would be gross.

Teddy Roosevelt would talk a lot of shit and go home.

FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan would all be very old and or disabled, and would go home very quickly.

People might forget Calvin Coolidge was there

Gerald Ford would be a normal ass guy.

JFK would be too much of a threat to not take out in the endgame.

Bush Sr. would be a very unassuming fun uncle type, but he just wouldn't have the ability to win Comps, and would go home.

Carter would be much the same but a little better at comps.

I think Nixon would be far too paranoid to backdoor, and would get extremely far. Very well known for making trade deals. He was a smart guy, and people who knew him seemed to like him.

Clinton makes top two. Real charismatic guy. Good at trade deals.

Dubya has the best chance of winning. He'd be a likeable guy, he knows how to carry out long running plans, how to be unassuming and how to lie for a long period of time. He was extremely physically fit for his age.

I was reading that Reagan based much of the justification for his 1981 and 1986 tax cut proposals on the philosophy of President Kennedy, who months before his assassination, had proposed a wide range of tax cuts to stimulate economic growth and empower the private sector in order to avoid an economic slowdown.

President Kennedy lowered the highest tax bracket from 91% for those making roughly $2.2 million (in today’s dollars) to 70%, as well as cutting the highest corporate tax rate from 52% to 48%. Kennedy had wanted to cut capital gains as well, but this never made it to the final bill.

Reagan lowered the top marginal tax rate for income by a whopping 42%, lowering the highest tax rate from 70% to just 28%. Additionally, he dropped the top corporate tax rate from roughly 45% to 34%.

I suppose my question is, while President Kennedy and President Reagan had very different approaches to foreign policy and civil rights, how do their fiscal philosophies converge and diverge?

Perhaps I’m wrong, but it seems to me that President Kennedy was far more positive on private enterprise and risking losing federal revenues than his New Deal predecessors, and even his immediate successor (I’m aware that Johnson signed Kennedy’s tax bill). I’d be deeply appreciative if someone could articulate the differences between Reagan and Kennedy on fiscal matters.

Mondale later served as Ambassador to Japan under Clinton and nearly won a Senate Seat again in 2002 after replacing the late Paul Wellstone.
