Jimmy Carter

[JB White]

1977 I filled up in Houston @ $0.39.9. Got into Chicago the next day and filled up @ $0.75.9.
Made me think I had been in the Twilight Zone for a while.

Carter did a lot of destruction to America but he finally did something people approve of.

With inflation so high who could afford savings or CD's though? What good is saving a penny when you're having to spend a dollar?

CNN doesn't like facts at all.

To those with more deobt than assets, none. Those with savings, a windfall.

And to think, this country will actually be flying flags at half mast over his death instead of when he was elected.

Carter's post Presidency was marred by too much personal meddling into foreign affairs. The Carter Center unwittingly or otherwise, helped prop up several authoritarian socialist regimes under the guise of non-partisan election monitoring. History will remember Carter as a very unpopular, weak and failed President. Weak on economics, weak on foreign policy. His Presidency, Post Presidency, and his anti-Semitic leanings are being ignored and/or massaged by those who are currently trying to rehabilitate his image. His only accomplishment worth remembering was to support and secure the building of the Alaskan Pipeline. The biggest lie ever perpetrated about Carter before he was elected was that he was a folksy, good natured outsider, when in fact he was a big democrat powerbroker.

The Carter 17% mortgage rate was something I?ll always remember. The interest rate on my house at the time was 4.5%. My S&L, that carried my mortgage, wanted to get out from under their low interest loans. They said that if I doubled my monthly payment, I could pay off the remaining 20 year loan in 5 years INTEREST FREE. We jumped at the chance and I always sorta thanked Jimmy for his ineptitude that saved us money when we were struggling along with the rest of the country. Reagan came in and got things under control. Biden?s ineptitude damaged our country in more ways that can be imagined.
