Nixon's Welfare State

LBJ was the architect of the modern American Welfare state with his Great Society.

What if Nixon had been the architect of the American Welfare State? He promised Rockefeller old-age insurance, but what else would there be? Would we see things like the minimum income or CHIP (the Nixon one not the Clinton one) in place of Medicaid?

Well we already have old-age benefits in the form of Social Security. We might not see food stamps become what it became under Johnson, but I do envision GMI being apart of reforms to AFDC. Bill Clinton’s whole reformist way before he even steps on the scene schtick kinda gets butterflied away.
