Welcome Back Carter


Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. The other day I heard John Sebastian’s theme song to Welcome Back Kotter, a TV sitcom on ABC from 1975 to 1979 - a span in time that mirrored the Presidency of Jimmy Carter. And for those of us old enough to remember, this period of American history was plagued with high unemployment, out of control inflation, recession, a falling stock market, failed government programs, and a loss of American prestige both here and abroad. Sounds all too familiar - doesn‘t it. I guess history does repeat itself. What got us out of our national ‘funk’ was a great conservative leader - and in that aspect, I can only pray that history does repeat itself.
