Domestic policy Quote by John A. Farrell
““Nixon “didn’t give a damn” about the finer points of domestic policy, said aide Tom Huston. “All he wanted to do was to keep the sharks away.” And so many progressive measures, crafted with the help of his administration, made their way to Nixon’s desk, where he acquiesced, signed his name, and took his just share of the credit. He was no ideologue.””
![“[Nixon] reduced the meaning of his life to nothing but power. In the film, we gave this sad figure consciousness of what he was. We weren't right to do that - I don't think he did have that consciousness. But we did it for movie reasons - to create empathy.” quote by Oliver Stone](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/085/oliver-stone-1812_consciousness_nixon-reduced-the-meaning-of-his-life-to_3184838.jpg)
![“Richard Nixon was a very intelligent and able man. And he had the right ideas. But he did not have the adherence to principles that [Ronald] Reagan had. He did some very good things. We owe to Richard Nixon the volunteer army - he got rid of the draft. And that was a major increase in freedom.” quote by Milton Friedman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2d1/milton-friedman-616_able_richard-nixon-was-a-very-intelligent-and_1337531.jpg)
