Carter’s six month record and the city problem
Six months into office President Carter is seen as unchallenged in Washington with strong public support for foreign and domestic policy. He is blamed for neglecting urban issues while mishandling U S Soviet relations. The administration is centered on Carter and his closest aides, diminishing other officials and keeping policy closely tied to politics. The energy program advances, but the $50 tax rebate for the poor is withdrawn and no major urban programs have emerged.
