Here was the annual unemployment rates Carter administration:

1977 7.1
1978 6.1
1979 5.8
1980 7.1
1981 7.6

Certainly far less that 11%. Interest rate? Yes..11% was a bargin.

 

Oregon, where I live, was double digit.
I must admit I do not know the exact national figures. But, I would be interested in your source. I recall higher national figures than what you list. But in either case, 5.6% is lower than 7.6%. I believe the news reported last night that the current 5.6 rate is about the same as when Clinton ran for office his 2nd term. I don't recall the economy being called doom and gloom then.

So I guess my point again, is how about some info on what Kerry will do rather than the doom and gloom.

If you live in Taxachusetts, what will it be if Kerry gets elected? Maybe only his wife has the correct wording for it.

 

Only one political thread allowed. Things are getting way out of hand. This one is closing.
