I think that history will have a better view of Nixon than you guys do.
You're judging him as a person (and his honesty was virtually
non-existant), however, he took some major steps to get the country out
of trouble. When inflation got completely out of hand (I remember
12%-15% raises that didn't seem to keep up) he got wage and price
controls. His strong anti communist record allowed him to normalize
relations with China, which seems like a good idea from political and
ecconomic standpoints. I believe that he will be measured by those
things, rather than his political actions.
