I thought it was very interesting that when he had a giant cloud hanging
over his head, Clinton became a (weak) social democrat for his State of the
Union, proposing new spending on health and education. No doubt this move
was fully market tested before it was taken, but it suggests that the
right-wing agenda of program and tax cuts is exhausted except to its true
religionists (maybe 20% of the U.S. electorate).
