January 30, 2005Undermining The DemocratsThe Washington Posts Thomas Edsall reports on the potential political benefits of the Bush agenda to the Republican Party
Mere interest group politics? Posted by rickheller at January 30, 2005 09:00 AM Comments
That last paragraph is misleading. Democrats, like Moynihan, Kerrey, Romer, etc. have also proposed partial privatization in the past. Centrist think tanks, who IMO lean Democrat, such as the Centrist Policy Network and the New America Foundation, through their publication the Atlantic Monthly, have been advocates for parial privatization for years. Stephen Moore is an asshole who thinks everything is a result of his brilliant political stragezing. Conservatives have not been the only ones talking about the ideas Bush is proposing, and the Democrat leadership's attempt to claim that in order to frame the issue is not only a lie, but it is obstruction at it's worst. These ideas will pass Congress, and with the votes of Moderate Democrats, just like Medicare. Posted by: Mathew at January 30, 2005 10:34 AMStephen Moore is an assholeYou forgot to put "egotistical" in there. It eliminates the need for the rest of it. Moore thinks he's God, or at least his Right Hand. Naturally, he's wrong. I'm still dredging through the available working papers on the Clinton admin's research on SS reform at the National Bureau of Economic Research. So far I'm much more impressed than I have been by anything else I've heard to date from either side. Yes, Clinton could have been great if not for the oral sex. Joe Biden could be president but he cheated on a test (or plagarized a paper?) Leave it to the U.S. political system to eat their seed corn.
