Accordingly, Nixon floated the currency, gave us the EPA, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act.
Of course, McGovern would have abandoned Vietnam to the communists...
The irony of it.

Wow!! Great post...well said
McGovern and Nixon: A reminder that the two main political parties, switching back and forth, have aimed primarily at increasing their own power while reducing the freedom of the individual citizen. Being elected and re-elected is far more important to all of them than preserving the Constitution.
Remember those stories and movies about the country being run by a super computer?
I think it’s time.
The best post I have seen on this forum in ages. Just, wow!
Nixon is also responsible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).....the government’s official wealth redistribution mechanism.
South Vietnam was abandoned to the communists under the Republican administration of Gerald Ford. In 2006 communist Vietnam signed a special trade agreement with the US reducing tariffs to 15% or less for most Vietnamese goods brought into the US and eliminating completely all textile and apparel quotas. The legislation was signed by Republican President George W. Bush. The Vietnamese communists we sacrificed over 50,000 lives and billions of dollars to defeat are now major trading partners. It is ironic the Republican Mr. Bush decided to sacrifice American jobs to build up the economy of still communist Vietnam. Seems like something Mr. McGovern would applaud.
