Bring your opinions and hot takes: Contrarian Boston to host a live chat tomorrow/Wednesday on the challenges facing the Democratic Party in the wake of a stunning rebuke by voters
Good points. The Democrats have focused almost exclusively on expanding access to health care, education, housing, you name it, with little seeming interest in finding ways to rein in the cost of these big ticket items for middle class families.
I have a friend who has a saying, "If you have a problem that can be solved by writing out a check it is not a problem." Another friend critical of government says, "The problem with government is that it is always easier to spend other peoples money rather than your own" The problem with the Democratic Party is that they have never seen a problem that can't be solved by spending other people"s money. Originally the party of the working middle class, hard working middle class people are carrying a disproportion of the tax burden to cure the problems of low and low-moderate income people. The well intended problem solving problems facing the middle class has resulted in the moderate income earners that were the core of the Democratic part are abandoning the party in self defense.
