A LOT OF WINGERS ARE STUPID

One clown asserted that unemployment reached double digits under President Carter and to back up his claim, he used this:
from Time Magazine March 21st, 1980

"As Jimmy Carter stepped before the television cameras in the East Room of the White House last Friday, his task was not just to proclaim another new anti-inflation program but to calm a national alarm that had begun to border on panic. Inflation and interest rates, both topping 18%, are so far beyond anything that Americans have experienced in peacetime"

This snippet doesn't mention the unemployment rate and I pointed that out to him. Here's his reply:
because it's not true. According to that Time article it "topped 18%"
