lol......a little late for that Jimmah, don't you think? Stagflation, anyone?

Hate to pick, but "stagflation" was Tricky Dick and not Incompetent Carter. Jimmah was in charge of hyperinflation, as well as the dismantling of our foreign policy and military, crashing helicoptors into the Iranian desert, and restribution of our wealth through the tax code. Jimmah also popularized killar wabbits, and contrary to popular belief, he was the first president to pronounce "nuclear" as "nookuler." Although Jimmah was responsible for a lot of things, stagflation was not one of them.

Whether or not Carter was responsible for stagflation is up for debate, but what isn't debatable is that stagflation was at its peak in the late 70's (during his administration): Stagflation occurred in the economies of the United Kingdom in the 1960s and 1970s and the United States in the late 1970s

Google "stagflation, Carter" and you'll find numerous references.
