In a Washington Times opinion piece, he wrote: The Carter-Mondale administration is well-remembered as the most beleaguered period in the 20th century. Every American recalls the days of double-digit inflation, interest rates of 20 percent, double-digit unemployment and gas lines that stretched several city blocks. [1] According to published statistics, however, the unemployment rate during Carter's tenure never exceeded 7 1/2 percent, although inflation did reach 13 1/2 % in 1980.
