I'm not of the belief that Carter "made a mess".
OPEC caused a gas shortage by cutting back production which all but destroyed the U.S. economy.
For whatever reason, Carter's failure was his inability to get OPEC to go back to their higher production levels.
And for whatever reason...they did just that while Reagan was in office.
Lower fuel prices always stimulate the economy (just like it's doing right now)
