Obama is Carter II, the sequel.

by Crescentius Vespasianus <jazzyboss@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 13, 2008 at 02:10 PM

For those of you who remember the Carter years 1976-1980, it was like
being trapped in someone else's nightmare.  Carter taxed business's in
the name of fairness, that resulted in stagflation, a nightmare of run
away inflation and unemployment.  But Carter was so obsessed with
fairness he could not see that he had turned the whole economy upside
down, and everyone felt the pain.  I don't remember any happy times
during the Carter years.  It was when people with Doctorate degrees
were driving taxi's so they could eat.  Carter tanked so many jobs
that college graduates were competing against the illiterate for
burger flipping jobs.  But Carter saw everything in terms of fairness,
why should someone with superior education live in a better house than
someone with just high school degree, and on and on it went.  It was a
time when you hoarded everything, because if you waited it would cost
so much more at a later time.  It was a time when there were massive
lines at the gas pumps, due to shortages caused by Carter's reluctance
to engage in Arabian politics, and his punishment of the oil
companies. Not one refinery has been built since Carter banned
construction of them in 1976.  Carter proposed wind and solar power,
meanwhile people's electricity rates went through the roof.  Before
Carter, electric bills were so small, they were hardly noticed, but
after Carter they are now in the hundreds of dollars per month.  The
change that Barack Obama proposes are basically a return to the Carter
policies that failed so spectacularly in those nightmare years of
1976-1980.
