10-4. The only time of my life when I was hungry. My parents suffered through the Great Depression, I suffered through Carter.
At least part of the suffering was intentional. Carter had the Liberal viewpoint that America was too big, too rich, and too successful. He felt that Americans needed to suffer, to atone for their sins and to be closer to the suffering nations all over the world. Like Obama after him, Carter felt that America's success was sinful. And most of all, it was not 'fair'.
If you think like a Liberal then you believe in the equal outcomes for all people, regardless of intelligence, ambition, or work ethic. When reality doesn't grant Liberals their fantasy version of reality, Liberals tend to 'force' it to be true, with absurd laws and governmental enforced coercion and confiscation. Liberal Government Motto: If I say that all people of the world must be equal, then I will make it so, whether they like it or not. That is why in Socialist/Communist Governments, everyone not in the chosen elite class of government is equal. They are equal in the sense that they are all poor and starving. That is what the Democrats want for America. To make things equal and 'fair'.
