1. Nixon OSHA, EPA

[JT45242]

4. to be fair -- starting with Reagan they tried to get rid of these both that were bipartisan issues

And Mango Mussolini may succeed

[leftstreet]

5. No doubt

But every major regulatory achievement by both Rs and Ds has been under assault

[W_HAMILTON]

7. """Both sides""" will fight for you!

[leftstreet]

9. lol stop

Nixon wouldn't recognize the Republican party today

The brief was "name any accomplishments" from the GOP, not "show bothsiderism"

[QueerDuck]

10. "... the aquaduct?"

"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

[JT45242]

2. This is a good and non-exhaustive list but I would have added

CHIP (child insurance ) Clinton
Flip economy after bad Republican economic policies led to recessions or depressions (FDR, Clinton, Obama, Biden)
WIC (feeding children and moms) LBJ

That flip the economy from bad republican policy is the one that they never get credit for.

3. Bush the First

Americans With Disabilities Act

6. Yeah that is a good one. When will the Maggots get rid of it or have they already? Hard to keep track.

8. Did Democrats oppose it?

Never mind, I answered it for you: there were just eight votes against the ADA in both chambers, with all eight being Republican votes (because business interests opposed it, as did religious groups because of its protections for HIV+).

PS - A Democrat (Tom Harkin) wrote the final bill and Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress when this bill was passed for Bush's signature, which was not even needed because it passed with a veto-proof majority.
