Historical NoteWhen Lyndon B. Johnson signed the 1964 Revenue Act that decreased income taxes and refused to raise taxes, spending by consumers and businesses increased, leading to an economic boom. However, along with government spending from the Vietnam War and Great Society, all of this increase of demand led to inflation.Additional Details
