President Gerald Ford
Ford issued Proclamation 4311. This gave Nixon an unconditional pardon for any crimes he committed against the US while being president. He also introduced a conditional amnesty program for the Vietnam war draft dodgers who had fled to countries.
He cut inflation by more than half. The inflation rate was down 4.6 % for the first 1/2 of 1976. The inflation rate was going up 12.2 % a year when President Ford was in office.
Unemployment was decreasing. During the recession low in March, 1975 84.1 million people had jobs. In July, 1976 employment rose to 87.9 million- increase of 3.8 million. About 4 million people found jobs since the worst of the recession. In 1976 the unemployment rate was down to 7.8 % Crime was increasing at a rate of 18 % a year. When President Ford took office the rate went down to 9 %
If you ask me it sounds like he was a pretty good president. After what I learned about him he really did help a lot like decreasing crime and helping people find jobs. I say he did a good job.
