JF, I like how Michael Lind thinks we can expand government by using keen hindsight and public polls. From the column:

> The public wants the middle-class welfare state to be rounded out by a few major additions -- chiefly, healthcare and childcare -- and the public also wants the government to grow the economy by investing in public works and favoring companies that locate their production facilities inside the U.S. There, in a sentence, is a program for a neo-Rooseveltian party that could effect an epochal realignment in American politics.

Absolutely amazing. Ignore the fact that socialism has failed more often than not. "Middle-class welfare state"? What a great way to ensure that class mobility is killed forever.
