He should have been the left's wet dream. He started price controls, OSHA, affirmative action, Detente and the SALT treaty with the Sovit Union, the opening to China with letting the Chicoms on the SEcurity Council and selling out the Republic of China on Taiwan. I probably forgot something. The radical left started getting control of the rats with their hatred of Nixon.
Oh, I think taking the U.S. off the gold standard and starting the era of floating currencies should go on the Nixon list. He sure made George Soros a rich man.
