Nope. I'm basing it on the fervent hope he's going to stop the goat ******** our economy is becoming
Funny thing about that is he already did.
When he first took office, the deficit was rapidly rising. The economy was in recession bordering on depression. It was the worst financial crisis since the 1930's.
And then, with one of his first acts..... BOOM! Suddenly a deficit that's rising by somewhere around five hundred billion a year is falling.
Do you know where we'd be if he hadn't?
Do you enjoy the ability to buy a car?
Worse since the thirties? Did everyone forget the late seventies already? Seems to have.
Gas prices when he took office were $1.85 a gallon. Care to guess what they are now?
I have never had an issue buying a car. Correct your comment. Do I like buying one that is supposedly made in America. Well, here's the funny part. Ford didn't take the government bail out, and is in BETTER shape than Chevy, which still hasn't paid back their loan.
And the issue that GM is still going down the shitter since they didn't renegotiate with the unions. All they did was delayed the inevitable.
But claiming he saved the auto industry? No. He put them on life support and is claiming they're back in great shape, when they aren't. Honda, Toyota and Hyundai aren't even remotely close to finishing kicking their a**.
Didn't say anything about buying an American car.
I said a car. It's something that you'd probably miss right now if things had continued going the way they were going.
And where was our massive deficit in the late seventies? Where was our soaring unemployment rate?
Oh, I forgot. This was when the national debt was at its lowest. This was before we had a deficit. This is when we were actually gaining jobs.
Look, I get that you have an irrational hatred for Carter, but you should probably get over it.
