Constitutional idea of a government that is by the people and for the people and if it's regulation that is needed to accomplish that then regulation is what they will opt for. If there are social programs that advance the well-being of all the people, then they will try for that. It has been pro-commerce and pro-regulated capitalism, but never laissez faire capitalism, which the fascist wing of the Republican Party has brought us in the last decades. I'm not happy with the New Democrat or DLC version that is taking over the party. I'm an old FDR Democrat and that's where I'm staying.
