Why do you keep ranting about sources? Have you realized yet that your own graph and numbers confirmed my statement about Carter and debunked yours? Your graph shows Carter's number at 3.4% average growth during his Presidency 1977 through 1980 (4.6 + 5.6 + 3.2 + -0.2) / 4 = 3.4 1978 through 1981 (...
