Former President Jimmy Carter Dead

[lafayette]

Why do you lie?

why do you lie about supporting the Central American commies?

 

[lafayette]

That is not shown at all. I think you mean if tax cuts were immediate. But you ignore it takes democrats to pass laws.

The charts always show that the recessions happened and debt increased because of the GoP.

Look, we are not communists in the USA. I admit Democrats are working daily to make us to be communists. After reading what was said above, clearly you want us to be communists.

The word does mean what you think it means.

This so applies to the Reagan supporters.

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd. Indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.

Why did you support the Sandanistas?

I went to a meeting in Hayward, CA and sat next to a woman whose dad was a General for the Contras. She really knew the entire story and showed me our Media told us half baked stories. Her dad was General Bermudez!

Of all posters on this forum, i am among the few if there are others, who has been into Communist countries. When you went to one of them, it was a hell of a good teacher.

Yup total horse shit I was a Marine SNCO in the late 80's and while the officer corps was not a big fan of some of his stuff the rank and file loved him

Carter was no longer President in 1981.

That's not funny.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Post a link to an actual paper or study that proves that more NCO's and Officers left service because of Iran Contra. I was there and no bonuses appeared no drives to retain were enacted and we had normal turn over

You are correct, Iran-Contra was a huge nothingburger to the military because we understood the reasoning behind it.

Trump could beat your ass any day of the week.

You are in a cult.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

this chart clearly shows no loss of personnel in the 80's in fact the Marine Corps grew.

From 87-90, I was in Navy Recruiting. We exceeded our goal every single year by far!

ABC recently spent $16M due to falsely claiming Trump was a rapist.

Just sayin'.

Meaningless. Trump is a rapist. Questions ABC News Should Answer Following the $16 Million Trump Settlement

why do you lie about supporting the Central American commies?

We supported the Contras, dumbass!

77,297,721 of us think you're full of shit, bro.

You're low end scum.

Carter was no longer President in 1981.

read the thread I responded to an idiot claiming Reagan caused a loss in retention in the services.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

I am guilty for first voting for Carter but when I saw his poor judgement, I reversed course and have since him, only voted for Republicans. When Carter was president, he told us we were in a malaise. He caused it.

He might not have caused it (Arab oil embargo was the driver) but he certainly enhanced and sustained it.

 

[DonGlock26]

The economy added 9 million new jobs under Carter, and Carter added far less to the national debt than did Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bush Jr.

I might add that under Carter defense spending rose from $452 billion to $516 billion, an increase of 14%.

Mind you, I'm glad Reagan won in 1980, but it is simply wrong to say that everything was horrible under Jimmy Carter.

Carter put the nation's economy into a ditch.

Carter had taken office amid historically high inflation and energy prices that had persisted since the Arab oil embargo of 1973. Carter appointed a new chair of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker, whose tight money policies eventually tamed inflation but also triggered a recession and the highest unemployment rates since the Great Depression. Along the way, there was more grief on the oil front as Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979 caused not only a price spike but long lines at the pump — worse than in 1973.
