And dude are you really going to try and tell us the peanut farmer president was a bank man?
Carter was a nuclear technician with a 15 year long political career fixated on privatizing the state and national economy. He inherited a peanut farm from his dying father and kept the business afloat precisely because he understood how to obtain cheap lines of credit. Carter wasn't tilling soil in the 50s. He was a spreadsheets guy.
