Paul Ryan: ‘Carter Years Look Like Good Old Days’

Paul Ryan compared President Obama to President Jimmy Carter on the stump in Greenville, North Carolina Monday, saying that Obama's economic record is even worse.

"The Jimmy Carter years look like the good old days compared to where we are right now," Ryan said.

You little twit! Carter's job-creation record makes Bush an embarrassment of historical proportions.

Under Carter, more than 10 million jobs were created (and that's in one term). That's about 5 million jobs more than both Bushes combined. That's 2 million more than Reagan's average. By comparison, Reagan only created 5 million jobs in his first term. In fact, during the Clinton years, there were more jobs created (23 million, two terms) than Reagan (16 million in two terms) and both Bushes (5.5 million across three terms), combined. In terms of average job creation, Carter is third, behind Clinton and Reagan's second term.

Republicans can't seem to live down the embarrassment that was the Bush Presidency, a disgraceful record they helped to perpetrate, so they must rely on obfuscation and red herrings.

Bush/Republicans destroyed the economy, now ask "are you better off?"

4. Carter's record wasn't all that bad.

Reagan owed his Presidency to the Ayatollah.

6. There was absolutely nothing wrong

with Carter's record on jobs. Look at Nixon/Ford. Then look at Reagan's first term. Carter bested both terms by about 110,000 jobs per month. In fact, the Republicans St. Reagan's second term only outpaced Carter's record by 6,000 jobs per month.

5. Ways to know when a Presidential Campaign is in trouble...

For Democrats: They start making comparisons to Harry Truman in 1948

For Republicans: They bash Jimmy Carter..

7. Carter's problem was persistent stagflation

Inflation was at amazingly high rates. It took Carter's appointment of Paul Volcker at the Fed to institute a rational policy to end it. Reagan reappointed Volcker and got all the credit. as the policies took several years to work.
