He’s too nice? He wants to restrict who can own guns, he wants to set up a panel to decide which elderly people deserve life saving medical attention and which ones don’t
[[Our mind-set is to automatically pull out all medical stops—even if that means literally torturing loved ones during their last few months of life. What if rather than always putting terminally ill patients in intensive care units—where we poke, prod, test, and operate ad nauseum—we allowed most people the dignity of dying in relative peace and comfort, at home, surrounded by loved ones, with hospice care or some other medical attendant if necessary? Agreement on who should be treated and who should not be treated would require an extensive national discussion that could hopefully result in some helpful basic guidelines. Obviously any such guidelines should allow for flexibility and choice. And decisions should be based not merely on age but on the viability of the patient. (From his 1999 book, The Big Picture.)]]

Note- the above link is to a liberal blog- But his statements show he’s also for income regulation (apparently he doesn’t think rich people should be able to become richer), and for restricting who can profit from financial speculations
I dunno if ‘nice’ is a word I’d use to describe him

Well, he certainly wants to be “nice” to illegal aliens...that’s the context of using the word nice in my post.
He’s unacceptable to me for his illegal alien kindness approach as well as other things.
we allowed most people the dignity of dying
It is never about dignity it is always about when the state gets to kill you.
