Right on Tilefish! Those who lived the Carter years, as I did; will recall that the economy was a disaster! Interest rates and inflation were double diget! As I write this I can't recall what unemployment was, but it had to have been extremely high.
Carter was such a huge failure that many thinkers in the government began to consider that the presidency was just too difficult a job for one man. Carter, therefore, damn near destroyed the office of the presidency!!!
I was always surprised that Admiral Richover allowed Carter to be a nuke submariner. He wasn't a fan of wimps, and Carter, was a wimp. :(
He's not a very nice guy either, when one considers what he's said about our present President.
