Richard Nixon had the worst economic policies since FDR. He even put in place wage and price controls. And as for the "priming the pump", the priming under Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, led first to inflation, and then inflation without growth (stagflation), that was only cured in the 80s with really tight money (which caused a painful recession), and Reagan's tax cuts and reform (which helped the country grow out of a recession, and set us up for growth in the 80s and 90s) Using Nixon's support for economic ideas is a really weak defense of them.
