The worst of it is related to Jimmy Cahtah’s presidency.
Remember 21 1/2 percent interest ?

He turned the US dollar into a quarter.

That particular round of inflation started back when Johnson took silver out of the money. Within a year prices jumped like you would not believe.

It carried over to the NIXON and FORD administrations(WIN). Then came Carter the Incompetent and his 21% inflation.

I remember union magazines later blaming Carter’s inflation on Reagan.
