Nixon’s New Federalism Wanted to decrease size of the Federal Govt (due to Great Society) Wants to distribute portion of Fed’s power to the States Begins revenue sharing program – local govts could spend federal aid dollars however they saw fit

Social Changes Nixon pushes Family Assistance Plan (FAP), family of 4 w/ no other income gets up to $5600 a year (replaces welfare) FAP passes House but dies in Senate (Reps say too much guaranteed money, Dems say not enough money) To get program passed Nixon gives more money to Social Security, Medicare & Food Stamps (Dems happy) But Nixon tries to dismantle social programs like HUD, and Office of Econ. Opportunity (Reps happy) FAP still fails

Law & Order Politics Nixon wants to restore order after turbulent 60s FBI begins wire tapping protest organizers, liberals, and the Democratic party Used IRS to harass anti-war leaders and VP Spiro Agnew to harass the media, which Nixon saw as anti-war cheerleaders Creates an “enemies list”

Other Major Changes Significant domestic changes during Nixon’s presidency incl: 26th Amendment – lowers voting age to 18 Title IX law – creates gender equality in sports & PE Creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – influenced by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (pesticides)

A Stagnant Economy Nixon takes US off “Gold Standard” can’t convert $ to gold Wants reduce debt by 1) Raising taxes 2) Cut spending (incl no tax money for USPS) – Congress skeptical Stagflation hits US (high inflation & unemployment, slow growth) Reasons for stagflation: open book to 798 and list four main reasons for stagflation
