Jimmy had some bad ideas but he also had his share of bad lucky. When he 
set out to rescue the hostages in Iran who would have thought the finest 
US helicopters don't work in sandy conditions.

He did appoint Volcker which took some courage.

That was a rough era. It was difficult to pitch any capital improvement 
when a company could get a better return on money by putting it in the 
bank than any realist ROI could show. I hope the Fed doesn't come down 
with a bad case of cowardice and cook the figures to justify easing money 
again.
