1979 Carter
if he was going to have any chance of reelection in         , he needed to demonstrate that he had a viable plan for remedying the economic woes
Carter didn't turn around the               
critics blamed him for events

Americans will            settle for less
having more was itself a virtue
Americans have no need for                  in the definition of freedom
