>> Another one of your intellectually dishonest arguments.

No more so than yours.

>>> Inflation had been building for almost a decade. It isn't like Carter invented it. He was, however, the first to tackle it through Volcker.

No, Carter didn't invent it and we were completing a run of several presidents with the worst economic policy in memory.

That said, you guys always want to do this, and it just doesn't cut it. You want to give Carter a pass on the worse economy in our lifetimes -- blaming it on his predecessors. You want to give Obama a pass on the 2nd worst economy in our times. Blaming his predecessor.

The reality is the economic policy of Carter caused the problems of the late 70s. It wasn't just Carter -- but his incompetent policy contributed to the problem. And Reagan's solved it.

You can argue about it from now on. But the reality is that Supply Side worked then and it worked during the Clinton years and it worked during the Bush years. And frankly, it worked during the JFK years.

So at some point, your argument has to be recognized for what it is -- illogical partisan nonsense.
