18. The difference between Repugs and us old fart "New Deal FDR Dems"
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 11:07 AM by Coastie for Truth
is that we "old fart" "New Deal Dems" give money etc<1>. to those who are screwed by the changes in society.

More likely, any Progressive bill will have some form of subsidy, rebate, or discount built into it (just like electric rates in many states, urban transit in many communities, etc.) -- "All Politics Is Local" Issue -- and if the social workers and case workers who help the old, and the poor, and the non-English speaking navigate the bureaucracy and paperwork are our Porgressives --- they will have a Progressive influence on their "clients." That's the old "Big City Machine Politics" that built the Democratic Party --- deliver services.

<1>- Money, relocation, retraining, subsidies, dislocation and relocation subsidies, etc. Remember, the "Old Fart" "New Deal Dems" gave us Social Security, Disability, Unemployment Comp, and Workers Comp. And in Pennsylvania they gave a "A Home for A Home" eminent domain.
