Serious question for those backing the Dems' austerity plans [View All]

This looks like flame bait, but it is I think it's relevant, given a recent thoughtful post in GD. The mods can delete if it turns into a flame war

I was moved to wonder about those who are cheering the way the president is governing right now:

Back when the party stood firmly for civil rights, voting rights, Medicare, Medicaid, Social security, Head Start, public schools, public roads, and so on, did you then ID yourself as a Dem? In other words, Obama's economic ideology is slightly to the right of Reagan. So were you a Repuke back in the 1980's? And, if you were a FDR/JFK/LBJ Dem, and are now an Obama Dem, what caused you to switch your ideology?
