Which president destroyed Christmas by telling us not to hang lights? Nixon or Carter?

Question

I rememger in the 70's one of them tried to tell the American people that by not hanging Christmas lights we would save energy & Christmas lights haven't been the same since.

Answer 1

It was Richard Nixon when his deficit fell below a balanced budget. The Vietnam war had a lot to do with it to, over the constant bombings and lack of funds. Carters budget was the result of Nixon and Ford, the Republicans cried like babies when they paid their taxes.
