I don't recall anyone calling the late 70's a depression.

No one called the 1970s a depression. I grew up during those times and everyone called it a recession. Maybe you are confused by someone saying, “the 1970s were depressing”.

"That’s what every called it back in the ‘70s."

No Depression has some key indicators, and not all of them were met.

The main crush in a Depression is Unemployment, and believe it or not during the Carter Years Employment actually rose the majority of his term. And more importantly Each years employment figures ended higher.

That my friend does not even come close to a a Depression.
