‘I always thought Carter got a bad rap in regards to the economy.’
The economic woes in the 1970’s were the direct result of LBJ’s Great Society nonsense, combined with fighting a war, all with no measure designed to make up the shortfalls.
Carter AGREED with the great society nonsense. HE STILL DOES!
Carter was willing to sell out the USA to the soviets.
Carter went to the soviets in 1984 promising all sorts of Mondale consessions if the Soviets would help the PR effort to derail Ronal Reagan.
Carter deserves his bad rap.
