The domestic policies of the Carter administration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The domestic policies of the Carter administration, such as increasing government spending and implementing wage and price controls, contributed to an increase in price inflation and stifled economic growth. This period became known as the "stagflation" era. The administration did not eliminate stagflation or significantly expand the economy. Additionally, aid to low-income families was increased, but it was not a dominant theme of Carter's domestic policy. Lowering the gas tax was not a policy pursued by the administration. Carter's domestic policies did not ensure his reelection as he lost to Ronald Reagan in a landslide in 1980.
