You might recall that the oil shortages of 1976 were caused by the

I'm pretty darn sure the Carter administration did not take office
until January, 1977. The oil crisis that caused the enaction of the
55mph speed limit happened in 1973.

How dare you cite facts that contradict Professor Ed's dogma? The fact
that he's two Presidents off does nothing to diminish the elegance of
his reasoning.
