History
Major Issues and Images: 1973-2008
The world was a different place 35 years ago. People were worried about different things.... Ending an unpopular war, gas prices, and terrorists, for instance.
Our president had been listening in on converstations illegally and didn't feel like talking about it.
The dollar was in miserable shape and just kept falling.
Underdeveloped countries were gaining nuclear capability.
Big oil companies were throwing around their muscle.
The middle class was getting squeezed by trade deals that seemed to benefit foreigners.
It was a time before SUVs. Instead, we had gas-guzzlers.
Inflation was a concern.
An unpopular Republican president had apparently spoiled his party's chances in the upcoming election.
In fact, the highest elected official seemed to have lost all credibility.
History and déjà vu.
