....don't try to help me Clubber
The year he won the election unemployment was higher than when he left office. Even if you go 77-80 it's only a 0.1% increase, a rounding error, and irrelevant when you consider the situation Carter had inherited and had to deal with. The bottom line is there was no huge increase in unemployment to blame Carter for, unlike say Bush almost halving the value of the dollar in eight years. Now that really is significant. Bush will also end his term with unemployment significantly higher than it was under Clinton, not a 0.1% blip.Quote:

Over the time period I chose to reflect Carter's presidency I was right. Being right is something I specialise in. If you pay attention to what happens over the next few years you'll be forced to end up saying to yourself "that English fucker was right!". On politics/geopolitics/economic issues you'll eventually be forced to admit to yourself that I'm always right about everything, and even when I am wrong about something it's a level of wrongness so insignificant to the overarching issue or subject (about which I'm always right) that it in no way affects my overall level of infallibility.Quote:

Carter cut the government payroll more than any other president in recent history. A lot of the deregulation of the US economy that Reagan took credit for was started by Carter.Quote:

Hey buddy...McCain is solutions oriented his energy policy is a lot more feasable now that he's FOR drilling in America. We can't afford to be oil prudes!
Meanwhile the Democrat Congress is trying to save the planet......if they really wanted to do that they should all just shoot themselves

Che Guavara and Obama?
Marxists for Obama?
People who hate America for Obama?
Come on, Lyle. Offshore drilling isn't going to do anything for us. The companies doing the drilling are not obligated to sell their oil exclusively to us. They can sell to anybody- more than likely China considering they're just doling out cash to anyone with oil and have only increased their demand. I'm not saying don't drill, but don't think that's going to help anything- especially within the next decade.Quote:

There isn't any bs those guys come out with that you won't believe, is there?Quote:
