Please describe the "60s style" liberal paradise. For instance what fraction of GDP would a fully implemented 60s style liberal government consume?

That post doesn't directly discuss social programs at all. Its says "1960s style liberalism", which includes issues other than social programs, and also is inherently disconnected from programs that started well before or well after the 1960s.

Your later statements about spending by Nixon

"after he cut funding to just about everything else"
Message 24710212

"Nixon cut spending on the social programs enacted by Johnson"
Message 24715310

are both incorrect.
