>hyperinflation so destroyed the economy as to be the cause of the unemployment. You're not kidding. I'm glad all we had was merely spiraling out-of-control inflation in the 1970's & 1980's or millions more would have been laid off as a direct result, and the economy could have been as badly destroyed as post-WWI Germany, rather than the more moderate permanent damage we had here. Simply due to one untrustworthy President and the cascading effect of those who trusted him and supported him anyway. Not like there's any question.
