As I understand it, Congress was doing that more or less without Carter's support. Maybe I am misremembering.

Carter asked for the largest increases in defense spending in 79 and 80 as there'd been in a generation.

Old ass, you're acting like that was 30 years ago or something.

s***, I was only a kid during Carter anyway, so my "memory" is more from study in college or after, not from 30 years ago.

2-Pac Kennedy Lives!

Believe it or not, that's somewhat of a legacy of the Carter administration. It was Carter that presided over requests to restart the arms race with the USSR after their invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980.

It was also the Cater administration's idea to provide aid to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan when the Soviets started intervening. Reagan's people took that idea and ran with it.

Carter helped worsen famine in Ethiopia too I believe.

 

For what it's worth, not all of these seemed like terrible ideas at the time.

Does the ethiopia one seem terrible now?/green

The governor of Massachusetts today named Paul Kirk Jr., a former Democratic National Committee chairman and close friend and former aide of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, to serve as a temporary replacement for the deceased senator until a special election for the seat is held in January.

There's still a possible avenue for the Mass. Republicans to mount a legal challenge if they're so inclined. We'll see.

And in related news, Ted Kennedy has been sober for over 2 weeks now.
