Once again the resolve of our great nation is being tested. Not since the Great Depression have so many Americans been forced to endure such a sustained period of high unemployment and economic uncertainty. In spite of this evident crisis, there are still some in Congress who do not understand that this ongoing misery is the result of stale and ineffective policies that we have seen before. The Jimmy Carter agenda was disastrous for America in the 1970’s so it should be of no surprise that we’re struggling with the same problems now that the same agenda has been repackaged and adopted by President Obama.
