Jimmy Carter, nice a person as he is, has seldom been right about anything.
Certainly not right in this instance.
Highlights of his administration 20% interest rate.
The Federal Funds rate was 11 percent when Carter appointed Volcker in August 1979. By the time Reagan took office in January 1981, Volcker had pushed the rate to 20 percent (the prime was 21 percent).
Gave away our control of the Panama Canal.
The control of the canal now?
China.
You think Jimmie Carter was a nice person? He was a vindictive, very small man.
When he ratcheted up the forced bussing of children, many w****s formed 'Christian academies' as alternatives. In a rage over the audacity to defy his mandates, he went to extraordinary lengths to deny those schools tax exempt status and other services and supplies. No matter the intent and what you may think of them, that's vindictive. And many of those academies were open to all. Many b****s were opposed to that bussing program.
Further, the fear mongering against Reagan in 1980, came right from the top.
