Answer 10

Because during that election Democratic thinking was split between two ideas . . . Jimmy Carter actually wanted to balance the budget and create reserves to invest in alternative energy in an effort to advert the next oil crisis . . . Ted Kennedy wanted to expand spending to further the cause of the poor . . . It was certainly an interesting moment.
