Remember it well. Could not wait to vote for Reagan.
I had just got done serving under Carter, the mortgage on my house was 17%

Lol! I remember it well. We had just purchased our first home and were punished by the interest rate on our homeowner's loan.. That, plus the long lines at the gas stations. And then there were the "fireside chats" Carter had with the American public, speaking about the need to conserve energy. He sat in the Oval Office, dressed in a sweater.
