Even viewed from a purely neoliberal position and making absolutely no New Dealist assumptions about the economy, Carter was much better than Reagan. And it's no surprise Paul would say as much. See also: Murray Rothbard's 1988 essay "Ronald Reagan: An Autopsy".

Rather than destroy his career, I hope Paul's comments create at least a faction in the GOP willing to question the eidolon of the Reagan  cult, just as many Democrats were doing with Roosevelt in the 1970s.
