During the debate, Reagan posed what has become one of the most important campaign questions of all time: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" Carter's answer was a resounding "NO," and in the final, crucial days of the campaign, his numbers tanked.
At the next GOP debate, rather than debating Trump's temperament and fitness to serve, while he is leading the GOP pack by 50 points, they should be hammering the question of whether average Americans are better or worse off than they were four years ago.
Food inflation currently sits at 4.9 percent compared to 1.8 percent four years ago.
How about foreign affairs? Four years ago we were not in a proxy war with Russia, the largest nuclear power in the world.
Four years ago, BRICS were something one built a house with, not an international anti-western geopolitical bloc representing, "Almost half of the global populationand nearly one third of global GDP." Are we better or worse off?
Clearly based on these measures, Americans are worse off compared to four years ago.
"Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"
