Welfare, Weakened In Clinton Years, Now A Key Piece Largely Missing From Economic Safety Net

Speak for yourself and stop telling others what I would and wouldn't rather see.  

I am an old FDR liberal Democrat. There is absolutely nothing that I believe or have ever said to contradict that, so if you think that's far left or far right, then that's what you think about FDR. 

I am one of the 70% of liberals that comprise the Democratic Party, and what Obama and Democrats are doing is not what Democratic voters put Obama & Democrats into power to achieve on their behalf.

The DLC, to which you apparently belong, are DINOs, ideologically the moderate Republicans of the 1950s & 1960s.  It is anti-populist and a t00l of the corporations, just like Republicans.  The DLC, through no acclaimation of the People or Democratic voters, controls the Democratic Party.   

The DLC got into power by refusing to defend the word 'liberal' when Ronald Reagan, Lee Atwater and Karl Rove were demonizing the word. Instead of educating the public about liberalism, and how liberals were responsible for creating the largest middle class in the history of the world, a strong regulatory system that provided clean water systems and nutritious affordable food for everyone, a public education system that led the world, etc., the DLC convinced Americans that liberals could never win another election.  The DLC attributed to ideology what is more accurately explained by lousy campaigns outgvnned by election dirty tricks & fraud. 

When informed of the issues, most Americans agree with liberal policies.  Neither they nor I would characterize themselves as far-anything or extreme, but mainstream. For example, nobody likes the idea of abortion, but most Americans do not want the government involved if they find themselves in the predicament of an unwanted pregnancy.
 
You've got no moral center, dearie.  You would just as soon throw your fellow American under the bus with wedge issue politics and triangulate away basic rights as root for Gordon Gekko if you knew he was a Democrat.
