The 130,000 part yes. Jimmy Carter, no

I remember the Carter Presidency, and if it had endured to today somehow, I might very well have 130,000 in the bank - enough to buy a cheese sandwich.

I'd rather face down a dozen jihadis in Iraq with only a butterknife to fight with than see that POS Carter within 100 yards of the White House again.

I dont't think so. I had the 130 when carter was president and was lucky to escape without declaring bankruptcy.
Can you say prime rate at 17%

Well, a few hundred folks could pool their 130K and pay the Iranians to release the U.S. hostages they held. J.C. certainly couldn't make it happen.
Oh, and to the fellow that mentioned 15% mortgages, for a few weeks mortgages topped out at 21% during JC's reign.

Well the 130k yes but Jimmy Carter that would be terrible!

Since the inflation rate was 12% when he was president my 130k would be worth a lot less.

except that the money would be worth about ten cents on the dollar and youd have to deal with all the fallout from liberals whining about not enough tax revenue....not a good plan.

No, because who would be able to buy a house at 15% interest?

Like every American having 130,000$? Hell no... inflation.
