Gerald Ford (R-MI) responded to Johnson’s address in a televised news conference later that evening. 1975: In his first State of the Union Address, Ford announces bluntly that “the state of the Union is not good: Millions of Americans are out of work.

Prices are too high, and sales are too slow.” To remedy these problems, Ford proposes tax cuts for American families and businesses, and strongly advocates for the reduction of government spending.
