For ****'s sake dude, I'm not arguing that Carter was bad, that Reagan was good, deficits, gold standards, or energy prices. You said Carter grew the economy much better than Reagan. My response was every year of Carter's presidency, inflation outpaced GDP growth. Changes in prices are part of GD...

**** and poppycock, son. Proving Carter sucks - which you AIN'T - would not even put a tiny DENT in my thesis, if I proved Reagan sucked worse. You've defeated my argument for one element of the economy, but as you know from a shameful career of desperately defending incompetent republicans, context...

Carter was handed a roaring economy and drove it into the ground: 1977 4.6% $2,086.0 1978 5.6% $2,356.6 1979 3.2% $2,632.1 1980 -0.2% $2,862.5...

I just want to kind of isolate this part of your post and look at it as a stand alone.Making excuses why my OP is wrong.

Again, we're not talking about your respect for Reagan's economy, we're talking about your thesis which is a comparison of their individual economies. You're losing your initial argument, and you know this. So your response has been to attack the Reagan's policies, but doing so does not support your...

When you double the national debt to prime the economy instead of being a fiscal conservative like Carter, it will certainly APPEAR that your unborn children's money is "yours." After all, you're spending it, right - and your kid owes it? That IS what occurred, is it not? I'll be delighted to learn...

Throwing money around like a drunken sailor while cutting taxes might have some effect on deficit spending - but better we wait... Squirrel!...

You're making excuses about why your OP is wrong from what I can tell. The cause of the inflation is irrelevant. The effect of inflation on the numbers you're posting is....

In his defense, he's admitting they're raw numbers....
