What economic issue did President Gerald Ford struggle with during his time in office?

During the administration of Gerald Ford (1974-1977) he launched the much-maligned WIN program (Whip Inflation Now) to combat the inflationary trend called stagflation, which meant that prices moved higher during a period of little economic growth. The problem continued under his successor, Jimmy Carter, as inflation increased to record levels. There was some improvement, notably a growing economy, under Ronald Reagan, from 1980 to 1987.


How did P President Ford handle economy?

President Gerald Ford addressed economic challenges during his administration primarily through his "Whip Inflation Now" (WIN) initiative, which encouraged voluntary measures to curb inflation but lacked strong enforcement mechanisms. He also implemented a series of tax cuts and spending reductions to combat rising prices and stimulate growth. Despite these efforts, his policies struggled to significantly alleviate the economic issues of stagflation—simultaneous high inflation and unemployment—facing the nation at the time. Ultimately, Ford's handling of the economy faced criticism for its limited effectiveness in reversing the downturn.
