Nixon’s Domestic Policy What domestic polices happen under Richard Nixon?

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 says welfare is inefficient, advocates Family Assistance Plan (FAP), family of 4 w/ no other income gets up to $5600 a year Unemployed must get job training & accept any available work Bill 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)

Law & Order Politics Nixon wants to restore order after turbulent 60s (promise to silent majority) FBI begins wire tapping protest organizers, liberal politicians, and the Democratic party Used IRS to harass anti-war leaders Uses 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: th Amendment – lowers voting age to Title IX law – creates gender equality in sports & PE 3. Creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

A Stagnant Economy Nixon takes US off “Gold Standard” can’t convert $ to gold Wants to raise taxes and cut spending to reduce debt but Congress refuses to go along with plan Nation faces Stagflation (high inflation & unemployment, slow growth) Reasons for stagflation 1. LBJ’s deficit spending (war & social programs) 2. Increased competition in global market 3. More workers from baby boom & immigration 4. Dependency on OPEC (foreign oil)
