Wonderful /s....and those looking to buy a home were paying 18% + for a mortgage.
That's the difference of owing money or saving money ! And not buying more than you could afford. And not living above your means. And not trying to keep up with the Jones's. And not living off of credit cards.
In 1980 I voted for Reagan.....of course it didn’t count because it was a mock election in my school. Growing up in the 70s and 80s president Reagan was a giant. He made the country strong both economically and militarily. In 1989 the Cold War was won without a world war.
President Reagan was one of the best presidents of the last century. Just the fact that he helped end the Soviet threat without a war earns him his place in the list of America’s great presidents.
This poll shows that about 17% of the population is stark raving nuts.
Anyone who lived through the Carter years and the Reagan years knows that Reagan saved the nation from the chaos Carter had created.
Reagan kept Paul Volcker as Fed Chief. The economy would have picked up steam with either POTUS. Reagan set a lot of bad precedents that we are still paying for today.
Reagans "economic recovery: was basically putting the country of a credit card.i.e. deficit spending. His own economic advisor said that if he had a third terms he would have raised taxes. As did Bush 1 and he paid for it,
I find it hard to believe anyone who lived through that time as an adult would vote for Carter. Gas shortages, run away inflation, Americans taken and held hostage, home loans running at 10-15%, high unemployment. In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I would have voted for Gerald Ford instead of Carter. Carter is who allowed the embodiment of radical Islam when he more or less encouraged them to overthrow a Iran. We have been paying for it ever since.
Christ, knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have supported Nixon’s impeachment.
Ain't that the truth, now that (for starters) we know who Carl Bernstein really is.
