Manager of Prosperity
Ford really wanted to cut inflation. He wanted to lower taxes and deregulate business. He was a social Darwinist of sorts and wanted business, energy, and spending to flow freely and have little government control.

Gerald ford had some great ideas when it came to the economy. He wanted less government invention and more power to the consumer. He created the Economic Policy Board to help him better work with the economy and stopped a 10 percent price raise in the steel industry. Altogether he did a good job.
