[PittsburghAfterDark]

My recollection of the Carter years, my city mired in multi-thousand job cut announcements monthly, many hand me down clothes that had 2-3 previous owners, spaghetti dinners with no meat and Wonder Bread, parents that had an 18% mortgage, hostages in Iran and Canadians doing more to bring them home than the President.

Yes, I’m so fond of Jimmah. The writer may try and burnish his tarnished image but he’s a fool of a man and a failure as a President.

parents that had an 18% mortgage,

The real estate ads in the Carter years featured one word that would appear in ALL CAPS. That word was ASSUMABLE!

Carter = Malaise

Not to mention air pollution so thick you could cut a square foot block of it with a penknife ....

OK, so that wasn't Jimmah's fault, but what the heck, why not pile on anyways? /grin
