You’re missing the fact that introducing bureaucracy is the GOP’s best tool in dismantling big bad government.
In Nixon’s time, introducing an agency that directly answered to/was controlled by Congress was the name of the game.
- padobson 8y agoPretty hard to call Nixon a small-government conservative. He was the last of the Rockefeller Republicans (counting Ford as part of his administration). Some Nixon Admin policies: -Nominating Warren Burger and Harry Blackmun to the Supreme Court, who concurred in Roe v Wade.[0] -Creating subsidies to turn corn into a commodity crop, effectively paying farmers to grow a lot of it[1] -De-coupling the US Dollar from the value of gold and instituting price and wage controls[2] No Republican in any district in 2018 America could get the nomination supporting these policies.
