I can't dispute that circa '82 was when Reagan was in office, but it's a bit misleading to place Reagan in the same sentence with Carter vis-a-vis High mortgage rates. Carter's was self inflicted, Reagan and Volcker was by necessity having to clean up the Redneck's mess.

We lived in a used mobile home for the first two years, then a plain jane house for the next two, then started building. No one does that anymore.

If we were calculating CPI the same way we were in 1980, the inflation we saw last year would have topped the inflation from back then. With that, we're still likely closer to 5% than 2%

Who exactly voted for PPP loans and wild government spending during Covid? Who was president during Covid? This isn’t one person’s fault or one party’s fault. This is a result of 40 years of shitty policy from BOTH parties.

These young Wokesters under 25-30 are gonna shite the bed if the US gets into a war and the government calls for a military draft.....they wanted this shite and they'll likely get to serve the country, but hey, they got some student loan forgiveness so it's all good.
