Economy

__Economy__ Two of the major Economy concerns in 1970 were inflation and environmental concerns. Another thing that Nixon did to help the economy was he made a tax revision that made a 15% increase on Social Security benefits. Nixon feared that the inflation would only get worse because of “Generous congregational apparitions”. Nixon blamed the Democratic controlled congress for the inflation issues.This chart shows that from 1970 inflation increased untill 1974 when it peaked.
