Transcription
In 1976, candidate Carter sold this country a plan he promised would hold prices at a 4% annual increase. Here's what you bought. Here's what he delivered. In only three and a half years, consumer prices have skyrocketed 42%. What cost you a dollar three and a half years ago now costs a dollar 42. And it can get even worse. The Carter record speaks for itself. The time is now for Reagan. Reagan.
