All the ganja must have shorted out this writer's memory cells. The Carter years were a very bad time - for everybody.
The election of Ronald Reagan truly was "morning in America".
Watching Jimmy Carter on the Today show the morning I was reminded how bad things really were back then. There was a "shortage" of everything. Then the disaster in the desert with the rescue attempt. I thought it was over for America. Jimmy Carter has nothing to say. He was an idiot then and he's actually worse now. He needs to depart the scene.
I remember being unemployed, going to a WIN office(Whip Inflation Now)...boy that Ford program helped me out...sarcasm off. The eighties were better though, I began to accumulate money, and lovely children...along with my wife of course. The nineties were rough though, three teenaged girls at once does something to your psycheeeeeee. The new century is awesome though. Interest rates are low, grandchildren to spoil, and my wife still rocks me. The 70's sucked, believe you me, when compared to here and now.
An understatement if I ever heard one.
