If these two can agree on a progressive strategy, so can you

From The Emerging Democratic Majority:

Outbreak of Party Unity!

It's nice to see the two main factions of the Democratic party--liberals and New Democrats--burying the hatchet, and not in each other. Check out this article "Come Together" by Robert Kuttner and Will Marshall in the new issue of the The American Prospect. Kuttner, of course, is a founder of that magazine and a long-time stalwart of the labor-liberal wing of the party, while Marshall is President of the Progressive Policy Institute, the DLC's think tank.

The progressive growth strategy they lay out is a good one and, I would think, acceptable to almost anyone who cares to call themselves a Democrat.

Come Together

By Robert Kuttner and Will Marshall

If liberals and New Democrats sometimes seem like the Hatfields and McCoys of center-left politics, it's because we each believe passionately that America's progressive soul is worth fighting for. For the most part, these debates within the family reflect principled disagreements about the best strategy for achieving both a just society and a progressive majority that embraces it. But though we still may disagree about some details, after years of radically conservative dominance of national politics, we find ourselves in vehement agreement with a simple proposition: The radical right is closing avenues of opportunity to working Americans.

This right-wing dominance, however, has produced a new unity on the progressive side. In this spirit, a group of us has gathered under a flag of truce to work out an alternative to Bushonomics: a progressive growth strategy for expanding the middle class.

1. Return fiscal sanity to Washington.
2. Don't starve government, feed innovation.
3. Reform the tax code for the benefit of working families.
4. Expand the economic winners' circle.
