Progressives Of the World Unite!

At HuffPo Robert Borosage says its time to lose our fear of "red ink" and spend spend spend.

We've done the whole small government, low taxes, deregulation number. We got top end tax cuts, declining wages, collapsing sewers and gridlock, a ruinous financial casino and global indebtedness through corporate trade policies. The result was growing inequality, a sinking middle class, over a fourth of America's children in poverty, increasingly destructive climate change, and a harsh financial collapse and recession. It is time to go another way.

Shout it from the rooftops: "Big government, high taxes, and more regulation!" Sounds like a winner. So how come so few Democrats have adopted it as their campaign slogan?
