• He instituted affirmative action in federal hiring.
• He instituted wage and price controls and severed the dollar’s link to gold.
• He proposed a national health insurance plan very similar to Obamacare, except that it required employers to shoulder a much larger share of the cost.
• He proposed a guaranteed national minimum income plan.
Nixon was far more liberal than Obama, and all the talk about Obama being a radical leftist, a socialist, or a Marxist is utter nonsense.
