Transcription

I'm Jimmy Carter. The problem isn't six and a half percent inflation. That's just something written on a piece of paper. The problem is, how can a family pay those grocery bills and keep up with the mortgage and taxes and pay for college education? People work hard, and they should be able to keep what they work for. I want a chance to give back to you the security and the hopes for tomorrow, that inflation is stealing from you. With your help, we can do it. You can depend on it.
