Indep Geo,
Are you really accusing Jimmy Carter for bringing on the inflation?
If so, you need to do a bit of reading.
Wars are financed with debt.
Borrow at 1970 dollars..pay back with 1974 ones (depreciated by inflation).
Wasn't it Richard Nixon that said he had a "plan" to end the Viet Nam war and then perpetuated it for another four years?
Duh? Is this the debt payment that Jimmy Carter had to deal with?
Wait until you see the inflation caused by G W's adventures for his lost causes.
Afghanistan is lost. Iraq is a civil war. Also another soon-to-be-loss.
"Bring 'em on!"
You'd think the US would have learned a lesson from Somolia when we got our billion dollar military's ass kicked by Toyota driving homies firing thousand dollar rpg's.
Ain't war great?
