O please fill me in on what I missed about Reagan. What exactly happened during the Reagan era that makes everything that went wrong under Carter pale in comparison?

Iran Contra?

 

 

Didn't Carter basically throw the Shah of Iran to the wolves? Carter did nothing while we had Americans hostage in our embassy. Could the overthrow of the Iranian government under Carter have setup that deal? (Not a good thing by the way, but I don't think it qualifies as making "Staglfation" Pale in Comparison.)
