During the Carter years (1977-1981), the U.S. economy faced significant challenges, including high inflation, rising unemployment, and energy crises. Inflation soared, peaking at over 13%, largely due to oil price shocks and increased production costs. Additionally, the country experienced stagflation, a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation, which led to widespread economic uncertainty and discontent. Carter's administration implemented various policies to combat these issues, but the economic struggles persisted throughout his presidency.

Why was there such an increase in poverty during the Reagan years?

America was still reeling from the economic downturn (fuel shortages, job losses, etc.) that occurred during the Carter Administration. However, toward the end of the Reagan Administration the economy began to improve. Reagan asked for, and Congress supplied, a huge cut in Income taxes for Americans. When the effects of that tax cut began to take effect, the economy turned around from the Carter years (which had high taxes and inflation). As the economy improved millions of Americans were lifted out of poverty and into the middle class. According to the Census Bureau, more African-Americans joined the American middle class than ever before in history. The growth in the economy continued into the Clinton presidency.
