You could not be more wrong.
The misery index with Carter hit its peak during his last year...
13.5 percent inflation and 7.2 percent unemployment.
Had you lived in America you might remember why Bruce Springsteen was so popular.
He wrote great songs about the misery many americans had living under carter.
Seriously... those songs about union coats and jobs and misery and leaving towns and running out on your family like River. ... that was real back then. American had a shit load of problems to overcome... and Carter was terrible.
Look at how the misery index peaked under him.

In 1965, President Johnson sta
Carter was so bad... not just economically but because he was a loser who just told us we had to accept our decline. (see his famous crisis in confidence / malaise speech.
Reagan came in and we we boomed for almost 3 decades.
Carter was a good president, certainly economically. You are just a moron.
Like GWB, VZ, Treefrog etc. you chip away merrily without two brain cells to rub together.
Terry, you are too ignorant and unskilled but unaware / DK syndrome to bother with.
