Nixon lent his support to other liberal measures, too Stewart Alsop began calling him "President Liberal" in his Newsweek column. By improved health care, he meant something like universal medical coverage. He used it to outline the "great goals" of his "New American Revolution," which included welfare reform, "full prosperity in peacetime," restoring and enhancing the natural environment, and "improving health care and making it available more fairly to more people." By welfare reform, Nixon meant a modest guaranteed income for the poor, not shooing people off the rolls. Nixon's 1971 address to Congress (and a prime-time national television audience) was different. Bill Clinton's most memorable line from a State of the Union was "the era of big government is over," and Jimmy Carter's was his charge that "the government has almost become like a foreign country, so strange and distant." All the other presidents since Nixon-Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and the two George Bushes-have been conservative Republicans who slam big government for sport. Liberals may wish it weren't so, but the last president not to give a let's-rein-in-big-government State of the Union address was Richard Nixon.
