Carter had:
The hostage crisis
Desert One
The malaise speech
55mph nationwide speed limit
Top marginal tax rates over 50%
The oil embargo
Billy Carter
Any Carter
The Mustang II

In Carter's defense, The Mustang II came out in the Fall of 1973, as a 1974 model under President Nixon.

The economic boom happened when people started working during and after WWII

That and the fact that most of the rest of the world's manufacturing capacity had been blown to smithereens.

Yeah. I was off on a couple things on my list. In fairness, though, I was 8 years old when Carter was elected.

With a 90% marginal rate that boom should not have happened because according to your own statement, economic growth does not exist with a 70% marginal tax rate. I didn’t see any qualifiers.

What about the other questions?

I think the US Government during and post WWII (Soviets, Space Race, computers) spending far exceeded what the rich could spend.

Also, Carter was still in office when the first Fox body Mustang rolled out in the Fall of 1978, as a 79 model.

A friend of mine in 1980 had a 79 Mustang Turbo. That car would fly even if the speedo only went to 85mph.
