I apologize for understating Carter's inflation.......
Did the twit really just add the yearly averages of inflation, none of which approached the 20% the fool asserted existed, and then claim that meant inflation under four years of Carter was 35.25%? Yes. Yes he did. Stunning.
OTOH, innumeracy ...... fits ..... well ........ with ....... il ....... literacy, ........ I ......... suppose.
It's very hard not to be condescending, when you're explaining something to an idiot. - Bill Maher
Yes. Are you denying that you need to take off your shoes to count past ten?
The cumulative inflation, which is what I'm guessing you were going for in a dishonest attempt to disguise earlier dishonesty, was actually closer to 45%. That, of course, is not what people normally talk about when discussing the inflation rate at a particular time, to preemptively disrupt that attempt to camouflage your dishonesty. You cannot simply add up yearly averages of the rate of inflation to get the cumulative inflation over that period, though it will be amusing to see how you try to lie your way out of this bit of idiocy.
And, I majored in History, avoiding Math classes as much as I could. trump University your alma mater?

BTW, my quick googling informed me that what $20 would buy in 1913 would require about $500 today.

You've had a rough day, PostFactProphet. Maybe, you should go play on one of the trump-fluffer threads for a day or two.

Article 31 of the Iraqi Constitution, signed into law by George W. Bush and ratified by the Iraqi people:
“First: Every citizen has the right to health care. The State shall maintain public health and provide the means of prevention and treatment by building different types of hospitals and health institutions.
Second: Individuals and entities have the right to build hospitals, clinics, or private health care centers under the supervision of the State, and this shall be regulated by law."
According to Republicans, health care is a right for Iraqis but not for average Americans.
Why the double standard, Republicans?
STILL can't handle that a Democrat delivered your own program to you, even as you kept his hands tied every step of the way?

The Republicans will not be solving any problems in our lifetimes.
Their hearts of granite and spiteful minds do not permit forward progress.
