What was the inflation rate under Jimmy Carter? - Answers

https://www.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_inflation_rate_under_Jimmy_Carter

Despite a sluggish economy, inflation reached as high as 14.8%, and interest rates reached as high as 18% during the period 1977-1981. By 1985-1990, this contributed to the failure of Savings and Loan associations which had many bad loans, especially in real estate. Of course, Carter had inherited the general inflationary trend from the Nixon and Ford adminstrations, which saw the beginnings of double-digit levels. President Ford had instituted the generally-ineffective program called WIN (Whip Inflation Now) in October, 1974. However, by November of 1976 the rate had subsided to 4.9% and was 5.2% when Carter took office. Continuous rises brought it to 14.8% in March, 1980, and 11.8% when Carter left office. Since 1982, general inflation has been suppressed below 6.5% and at times has been much lower. (see related link)

I understand that Admiral Yamato was asked about invading Amerika and this astitute man did not think this was a good idea. Yesterday slo joe shutdown the Keystone pipeline causing financial pain to many families. This is just the start of pain for Amerika, wait until inflation kicks in. Remember when it got to 9% under Jimmy Who?

That was not a real quote by the Admiral.

Wonder how "our" slo joe supporters feel when this hits the Amerikan family.
