        Oh yes I remember this well, he froze wages and let prices go up, and wages have never caught up with prices since then. We were supposed to be allowed 5% and we negotiated that much and got it in on the 90 day time limit. The government sent it back and only let us have 3%. 1/2

        2/2 and said we were making to much to get the 5% and would only let us have 3%. Before this deal a loaf of bread was .80 cents a loaf. After this happened a loaf of bread jumped up to 1.40 cents. Thank you again Repubs

        Why do all of the televised Oval Office addresses from that time period include a false curtain partition that made it hard for the TV audience to even be able to tell it was an Oval Office address?

        Never understood that either. Also it bothered me Obama never took advantage of “the Oval Office address”...except for the BP spill.

        And, perhaps more significantly, severed the dollar-gold link and imposed a 10-percent surcharge on imports.
