1980.
I was 21, had been married for a year, and Reagan was the first president I voted for. I missed Carter by 2 months, I was 17 when the dipshit peanut farmer was elected, my first voting experience was the following year for Virginia state and local officials.
I remember during the Carter years working on the family dairy farm, trying to battle his economic policies that brought us his PIK program that would lower the surplus of corn stocks in the country. That it did, but what Dumbass Carter and the DIMorat congress didn't divulge was when corn prices went above a targeted amount, all the corn we received would have to be paid for, AT THE HIGHER PRICE!
Between that, double-digit inflation (I bought a house in 1979 when I got married at 17.9% APR interest, which was about the going rate), Carter's "enlightened" foreign policies, and his wanting to french kiss every two-bit tinhorn dictator in the world, I wonder how this country survived.
But we did, and Carter's "genius" brought us Reagan. Today, I see Carter again in Zero. I have no doubt that Zero's "leadership" will bring us the next Reagan....
