Nixon inherited a weak economy...
So the first statement of this article states that Nixon inherited a weak economy. I am looking at the Fed Data and real GDP grew at 2.7% in 1966, 4.9% in 1967 and 3.1% in 1968. Since Nixon took office in Jan 1969, its inaccurate to say that he inherited a weak economy.
