Nixon was Progressive garbage. Let's not forget CAFE standards and the EPA as some of this idiots ideas. There is no way I would put Bush in the category of Nixon. Obummer is more Nixonian.

Let's not forget the Earned Income Tax Credit, first proposed by Nixon, giving tax "refunds" to people who didn't pay taxes. One of those quirky things passed by congress too late for Nixon to sign into law, which he had pledged to do. He was gone when signing time rolled around, Gerald Ford signed it.

Increased under every administration since, without exception.

I also forgot about Nixon scraping Bretton Woods.
