That is true William. In 1964 I was an E-4, I owned, not rented a home, granted a 2 br rambler with carport but a a home, a 1965 Mustang a wife and two children all on the pay of an E-4.

Today an E-4 has trouble making a car payment, and has to live in some cheap trailer or motel.

base housing if he is lucky.

I was married 15 years, three children and we never suffered or lacked, good Xmas even, and she never worked, nor had to . She raised the kids while I was off, half the time, in Sam's service in the great adventure.

However saying Jimmy Carter has some blame for the fix we are in, is way off the mark. This shit all started with Reagan. Carter put solar Panels on the roof, Reagan took them down.
