Wait a minute...

1974? Hmmm... Carter took office in 1977.

What else did we have in 1974? Nixon resignation? You see, old Tricky Dick was the president then.

Brush up on your history, you big dummy! (Sanford and Son was big in '74, too)

I don't think it's fair to blame Jimmy Carter for global economic crisis that was caused by OPEC.

Additionally the reason why he wasn't voted in for a second term was that he suggested that american's should use less oil.

I think you meant '79. It is true that there was dbl digit inflation. However, while inflation is an important economic indicator, Indebtedness is also important. When you compare democratic presidents from Carter and beyond the national debt has increased in the presidential terms when republicans held office & declined during terms when democrats held office. The long term effects of indebtedness will have far reaching consequences. Lower inflation at what cost? We're now owned by China

Carter - How soon we forget the good old days - The year was 1974. It was the ONLY time in US history that we had double digit inflation, double digit unemployment, and double digit interest rates ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!
