Governing in the Public Interest
ILLUSTRATED: The Public Interest, our brand for the next generation.
This blog first mentioned last November that the Democrats need a new brand identity. It should be the Public Interest/Public Trust/Common Good/Commonwealth etc. The banner should be "patriotism". For the last quarter centuty, the GOP has run on smaller government, lower taxes and regulation, under the banner of "liberty and freedom".
I hope that Bill Clinton's speech yesterday, in which he repeated "Common Good" dozens of times, will telegraph the new theme for our party.
Policies like rebuilding our education system, health care system, our army, our international reputation, our fiscal system can all fall under this thematic banner.
