We're nowhere near what inflation was during the Carter years.
Inflation is around 4% over what it was this time last year. Triple that value and you get about what it was just before Carter left office.

We're nowhere near what inflation was during the Carter years. Inflation no, devaluation of the dollar yes.
Inflation and Devaluation are different sides of the same coin.

Our inflation is much more than 4%, remember that they don’t count fuel and some other things anymore.
