It's been a common assertion that the period of 1976 up to the early 1980's was going to be a bad period regardless of who was President, and whoever was elected in 1976 was gonna have the same problems as Carter did.

So I hand it over to you to actually find a way to fix and better address the problems of the 1976 to 1980(ish) bad years than they did in the OTL.
