Amusing and horrifying at the same time! Ed’s speech brought back my remembrances of the 70’s. Sure – I gradumacated from high school, earned my first degree, and entered into the work force full time – smack dab into an economy that wasn’t as bright as my graduation speakers ("The sky is the limit for you graduates – your future is what you will make of it!") – high inflation, high mortgage rates, high prime rate and loan rates, high unemployment – and the birth of the Misery Index.
Best description "Obama just looks like Carter the second time around". Such a deal – making Carter actually seem to be OK.
Bad times then – and the comparison to now ain’t such a high either…. take a listen on Ed’s take on the happenings back then and the happenings right now.
