Jim, sure for those that lived and worked the hard times during Carter's years, because they didn't trash our country with debt. But certainly not for future generations. People that worked and retired during Carter's years, were handling the hardship and absorbing the pain of their times. They didn't dump their issues to the next generation. Unlike today's baby boomers* who are passing it off to the next generation by massive debts. (When I say boomers* this specifically means Congress - you'll note that Congress is packed full of boomers - my generation has no representation in Congress. It actually made headline news when congress gained someone as "young" (their words) as a 42 year old congressional leader the other year. Even that's a boomer. My generation has ZERO representation in Congress. We are a large population that is being unheard by Congress.) Carter's years were very responsible years, they didn't pass their massive debt to the next generation. So sure, from your perspective you thought it was hard because you didn't dump your issues onto the next generation (since you lived Carter's years). From my perspective, I don't carry the debt of the people that lived Carter's years because they were a heck of a lot less selfish than today's debt ridden congressional leaders. Regards, Amy J
