Anecdotes are fun and all, and I don't know you personally so I'm not trying to be a dick, but what you experienced individually is not indicative of a President's overall success. All I'm saying is when inflation is higher than growth, you're not really doing that well. Maybe your personal acco...

Again, I go to results, GDP statistics under either one have no meaning. Results do, so Reagan wins easily on that. To ozzie, no politician has ever been all roses....

I love someone as uninformed as you, claiming others don't have the "experience" to debate. I just showed you the GDP numbers for Carter and Reagan, do you dispute those numbers? No. All you can do is launch another ignorant personal attack....

Because I know you're my age and lived through the gas lines, I'll stand beside you on that. Golfboy has no such experience. He relies on soundbites. Defend the little **** if you want. I know for a fact that neither Carter nor Reagan was all hearts, flowers and good times. The state of the union...

Simply look at the results of each administration, then talk agenda. Carter damned near took us under with incompetency, not too mention damaging the American spirit more than any POTUS to date at that time. He has now been surpassed by barry for that title....

Carter took an economy growing at over 5%, and handed it off at -0.2% Reagan took that -0.2% and left it at 4.2%. And idiots like Cannon claim Carter was a success....

I have always been pragmatic and results orientated and pay little attention to Carter supporters in this thread. Their kumbaya clouded memory of Carter has no bottom line results. As far as positive results, Reagan left Carter in the dust....

I was going to get to that, but the lolberals' inability to do basic percentage change calculations diverted me. GDP doesn't distinguish between real growth and inflation. An example, under liberal economics if one widget is $1 in 2013 and it's $2 in 2014 then that's growth. Conversely, if a widget ...

translation: because I am so programmed that I must attach my agenda to meaningless labels to make it seem like I have more that a peabrain....

Which is not the way cannonpointer presented it. Had you read it and comprehended what he was saying, you would realize that he never said that Carter increased the economy BY 154%. You would have seen that he said Carter increased the economy TO 154%. If you're still confused about the difference ...
