I refuse to debate the numbers until you tell me what they are. In the SAME POST I have seen you end Carter's term in 1980, in order to show Reagan being handed a flat economy, and ending in 1981, in order to lower Carter's increase in the GDP. I have asked for clarification twice at least. This is the third time, at least.
Which numbers belong to Carter? 1976 - 1980, or 1977 - 1981?
PICK, then we can argue the numbers - not until
PICK WHAT NUMBERS ARE CARTER'S BEFORE YOU DEMAND I ARGUE THE NUMBERS WITH YOU. ONCE YOU HAVE PICKED, BE PREPARED TO STICK. THEN WE CAN ARGUE THE NUMBERS, SON.
You're demanding I correct YOUR error?
YOUR chart shows and YOUR link in the OP show the ONLY numbers that could belong to Carter are 1977 through 1980.
Hell man, your "1976 - 1980" and "1977 -1981" are each FIVE years. Carter was only President for 4.
I've asked you before, and I'll ask you again, are your dates wrong, or is your chart wrong, because they can't BOTH be right.

Not in the post that I responded to, you didn't. You used his third fiscal year to define what he "turned over" to Reagan. That was dishonest on two counts but, as I said, better then clem and crimson.
Here, since you're busy waiting until I get to your attempt at a rebuttal and shred it, refute these numbers (since they refute your thesis) - or mock them without providing alternative numbers - whatever it is you feel you need to do:

Prepare to have your *** kicked by your own numbers again.
1977 4.6
1978 5.6
1979 3.2
1980 -0.2
1981 2.6
Your graph shows Carter's number at 3.4% average growth during his Presidency
1977 through 1980 (4.6 + 5.6 + 3.2 + -0.2) / 4 = 3.4
1978 through 1981 (5.6 + 3.2 + -0.2 + 2.6) / 4 = 2.8
According to your own graph, in order to get a 3.4% gdp, Carter took an economy running at 4.6% and handed it off at -0.2%
