More From Thomas Frank
- "What is at stake in the debate over health care is more than the mere crafting of policy. The issue is now the identity of the Democratic Party."
- "Maybe that first, gigantic deficit the Reaganites piled up was an accident, just a combination of deluded “supply side” tax cuts and a huge bag of good stuff for the Pentagon. But pretty quickly conservatives discovered that deficits, when done correctly, did something really cool: deficits defunded the Left."
- "As you may recall, Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953, thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a ‘Near Great’ even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then."
