Nixon ... Ended Manned Space Flight; Began the EPA; Began OSHA
WTF? He left office in 1974 and man flight continued for at least another 20+ years.
And in case you're too young to remember, there was a need for both the EPA and OSHA.
That the Left has totally corrupted both is not Nixon's fault.

"...there was a need for both the EPA and OSHA. That the Left has totally corrupted both is not Nixon's fault."

The EPA was corrupted by its very first administrator, William Ruckelshaus, when he arbitrarily banned DDT and caused the deaths of millions from malaria.

You are confusing low orbital launches (LEOs) with actual space flight which ended in 1972 with Apollo 17.

I was there when Nixon, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman took a tour of the San Juan Islands an decided to begin the EPA.

You obviously never had to live the nightmare Nixon created in the western states. Which is understandable - the lefty media pretty much blacked it out.

And the EPA was a nightmare from the start, and OSHA was not much better.

There never was a need for either as government agencies - they are not part of the government’s job nor mandated under the Constitution. If you imagine there was a need, you are very much mistaken - the left simply made a very bad idea worse.

There is no defense for the destruction and major loss of freedom Nixon & Co. made manifest.

Yep just like Social Security was meant to support destitute elderly people. Back then, life expectancy was 55 years old? If we want to be accurate, we should raise it to 75 years now
