That was his best position, though he also opposed all unconstitutional spying on citizens. He also opposed all corporate-welfare - even beyond the MIC 'contract' welfare, which the Rs and Ds won't stop the war-crimes-enabling activity.

As far as economic issues - he was awful, as previously noted - that would include trade-agreements, outsourcing, and protecting American workers from at-home competition from foreign-hires (enforcing citizen-only hiring laws) to undermine their wages.
