Good old Jimma Carter. Malaise, his speciality.

I remember his 55 mph speed limit - and naturally, I had to have a 425 HP
l48 corvette and it was a REALLY slow speed. If I tried to go faster, there were always “Carter Enforcers” ready to block the lanes to ensure nobody could go faster.
The joke at the time was “the two things a Naval Officer must learn is Russian and Lifeboat Drill”.

You disremember. Nixon enacted the 55 mph speed limit.
