69 In the late 70s, the U.S. was overextended Americans distrusted their government as a result of Vietnam & Watergate The economy had entered a recession with high unemployment & inflation A decline in America s status in the world A series of presidents (Ford & Carter) that failed to inspire a sense of hope among the American people
70
71 Another issue during Ford s presidency was a growing economic recession Since the early 1970s, the economy had grown stagnant with few new jobs or business profits Inflation, interest rates, & unemployment were all on the rise High inflation
72 Making the economic situation worse was the oil crisis of the 1970s In retaliation for American support of Israel, OPEC cut off oil to the U.S. in 1973 As a result, gas prices soared & shortages led to long lines for gasoline
73 Ford had no answer for stagflation or the gas crisis & was challenged by Georgia Democrat Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election Carter ran as an outsider who played no part in Vietnam, Watergate, or the recession
74
75 In the 1976 election, Carter beat Ford
76 - As president, Carter tried to attack the energy crisis, stagflation, & the recession and 78 recoveries to unemployment, inflation BUT Iranian revolution (1979) brought another oil crisis; tight money policies did not help as needed
