Anyone remember the Carter years?

[rothschild]

God, what horrid times. The only time in my life I was ever unemployed; you couldn't beg borrow or steal a job. That idiot peanut farmer was a moron, and his brother Billie was the hero because he had all his teeth.

Carter was far better than most of the other presidents over the last 100 years. The economy was mostly fucked as a result of the Vietnam war, which led to the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement. We can thank LBJ and Nixon/Kissinger for that. We later came to find out that the Reagan admin had secret dealings with the Iranian government, showing very clearly that Ronnie was a phony, Hollywood cowboy that had no principles to speak of. If you look at the people he surrounded himself with, every single one of them was a scoundrel, with the exception of David Stockman, who was brought on to give the impression that Reagan was a libertarian, which he wasn't. He gave the military-industrial complex everything it wanted, and then some, and Stockman got the boot because he wasn't willing to pretend that it was militarily necessary. Ronnie also raised the social security tax rate, marking him indelibly as a tax-and-spend Republican that was totally in the service of vested interests. George Bush was the cherry on that sundae, who laid the foundation for the globalists who would go on to dismantle America's industrial capacity and bury it in an Everest-sized mountain of debt.
