It was equally bad in the Carter years.

Why, we haven't even gone to gas rationing yet. Remember "odd and even"? We'd be out in the company parking lot swapping tags so we could buy gas.

The gas rationing wasn’t nearly as bad as the crushing interest rates and inflation.

Yes. I also remember rioting at pumps and the need for police protection.

I also remember you had to buy a minimum of 10 dollars worth of gas after waiting in line. Also farmers could get all the gas they wanted and few that I knew were enjoying a brisk side business on some sandy road back of the farm.

OMG make him shut up already

I can’t stand to watch him - just makes me sick

I can’t believe anyone could be so arrogant and stupid as this president.

What a freaking loser. Total 100% loser.
