Troubled Economy  : the U.S. faced stagflation  Stagflation occurs when there is high unemployment and high inflation (prices up).

Causes of Stagflation 1. Pres. Johnson’s funding of both Vietnam and social programs through deficit spending. 2. Increased International competition. 3. America’s heavy dependency on foreign oil (still a problem today!).

Watergate  Scandal arising from the Nixon administration’s attempt to cover up the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in the Watergate complex.  Led to the imprisonment of 25 government officials.

The Watergate Complex Washington D.C

“The President’s Men”  Small, loyal group of advisors  Shared Nixon’s desire for secrecy and power. Believed they were “above the law”

The Burglary  At 2:30 a.m. on June 17, 1972, a Watergate guard caught 5 men breaking into Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters  Were trying to place wiretaps, or “bugs” on the office telephones  Workers began shredding documents and passed out $450,000 to buy the burglars’ silence

Chapstick tubes with hidden microphones.

 Nixon’s advisors helped plan the Watergate burglary  They also helped to cover it up
