Uh, a recession started 6 months after Reagan took office and lasted for a year and a half. Unemployment almost got to 11%.
recession? six months after Reagan? The whole Carter administration was a depression, gas lines, and out of control inflation. I don't remember any of that under Reagan
. And that rise at the end was still Carter. Reagan picked up the slide for another two years.
I don't think it's coincidence that right after Kennedy was assassinated we got uncontrolled spic immigration, Vietnam, gun control, off the gold standard, and declining real personal incomes. Every chart having to do with financial well-being shows that to be a turning point in American history.
The immigration act that started the destruction was in 1965, the gold standard was abandoned in 1971.
If Carter was such a great president why did he not end those two destructive forces?
