Why are democrats acting like republicans? Outside of Elizabeth Warren, they are all so Casper Milktoast. Even the President is behaving more like a republican than is preferable. This is the term where he should be way left of center and use the Office as a bully pulpit.
Given the lousy performance of our economy and the state of our infrastructure, Democrats should be wiping the floor with Republicans. Instead they're implicitly backing the 4 Horsemen of Supply Side: Deregulation, Privatization, Free Trade, and Trickle-Down.
Every time this nation has experienced an economic downturn, it has been Keynesian economics that have turned us around and put us back on the path to prosperity. I know the President is trying, but I wish he would spend the rest of his term farther to the left and pointing out the failure of supply-side economics. The 4 horsemen need to meet their waterloo. Somebody needs to expose the GDR's as the frauds they truly are.
