You said it was your dadās one factor to never vote Democrat. Iām curious as to why Carter was to blame.
For what? The vaccine was already being worked on months ahead of the start of Warp Speed.
And his administration totally botched the PPE and vaccine distribution stuff.
And he flat out lied to the American people about the virus.
Which caused the politicization of mask wearing and Trump supports who will now not get vaccinated.
The WH muzzled the CDC and was re-writing their recommendations.
And we might have saved many more lives if he had not cancelled the preventative maintenance contracts on federal owned ventilators which made thousands of them unusable.
He botched the virus response and rolled the dice that it would all go away. And it didnāt and he still gave himself a āA+ā on his response.
And once again the majority of voters were smart enough to not believe his lies and voted him out.

Whens the last time you ever thanked a wealthy coastal elite politician from NYC?
It was one of them. Sorry, but Iām not taking the time to write down entire conversations over the years to placate someone who wants to defend the Carter years.

Well as Rod Sterling used to say on The Twilight Zone: Imagine a time and place where you have double digit inflation, double digit unemployment, and double digit interest rates.
Some folks had variable mortgage loans that hit 15/16 percent during the Jimma period.
Did i mention gas lines at the pump and only able to buy gas every other day?
The Iranians held much of our embassy people hostage for much of Jimmaās tenure as well.
The man was a disaster.
Biden may well rival the Carter disaster given a little time. He certainly is off to a fast start toward damaging the country.

Gas lines and stagflation were already a thing when Carter took office. Shouldnāt we blame Ford and Nixon for that?
Remember WIN buttons?
Over 9 million jobs were created during the Carter administration. Shouldnāt we credit Carter for that?
That hope never does seem to work out. lol

Hereās a nice link from the New York Times from 2019 that belies your opinion.
āMore than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, an 11-year high and a strong sign that stepped-up prosecutions, new controls on asylum and harsher detention policies have not reversed what remains a powerful lure for thousands of families fleeing violence and poverty.
āThe system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point,ā Kevin K. McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters in announcing the new data on Tuesday.
The nationās top border enforcement officer painted a picture of processing centers filled to capacity, border agents struggling to meet medical needs and thousands of exhausted members of migrant families crammed into a detention system that was not built to house them ā all while newcomers continue to arrive, sometimes by the busload, at the rate of 2,200 a day.ā

Carter was bad. But far from the worse president of the time
Ford was worse by far.

I was a kid in the 60s and people still talked about them almost daily, some from personal experience. My father in law was born in 1902. In the 20s he was a collections agent for Beneficial Finance. He would drive a car until the road ran out, rent a horse and ride out to a home to collect a five dollar loan payment on a fifty dollar loan. You could get a steak dinner for a quarter. He lived through the depression and kept an entire closet full of toilet paper until the day he died at 95 years old.
And liberals telling us why those numbers donāt actually mean anything good.
You obviously never saw the monthly threads during the trump years.
Allan
I didā¦ hence my response.
I bumped a thread from 2019.

Like this?
A 4 is pretty average.

Then why do non american countries also have vaccines if itās all thanks to Trump?
Also why did america suck so much at reducing covid spread during trumpās term?
