“Most of the credit should go to the American people for taming high inflation,”

Oh? And what exactly did we do that we weren’t doing in the Carter years?

I’m curious to know if you were an adult then to know what the 70s were like. My guess is “no”.

The main drivers of inflation in the 1970’s were the end of Bretton Woods, Nixon’s price controls, the oil price shocks and leaders who lacked faith in the American people.

The American people were being held back.
