Then you have no memory of Carter, 18% inflation rate, high unemployment, Islamic Jihad started by Carter allowing the Shaw of Iran to be replaced by the Islamic leaders who started the current war against the west. Higher taxes. De-funding of military, no spare parts 70% of planes and ships down for part shortages. Thats just the tip.

I always thought Carter got a bad rap in regards to the economy. It was bad throughout the 1970s from late in Nixon’s term through Ford and Carter. He's at fault for not doing something about it I guess. Reagan was the one who finally set it right by taking out all those economic ‘controls’ that has been put in throughout the previous decade.

ADD a hostage crisis, 21% mortgages, gas lines,” misery index”, and a moron on foreign relations. Sorry, CARTER is still the worst, by far
