TIME. -- Why the Democrats Are Happy Warriors


Democrats move forward with five big ideas

1 Expand support for higher education.

2 Create a National Institute of Science and Engineering, like the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

3 Promote energy independence.

4 "You got a job, you got health care."

5 Organize a bipartisan summit on the budget. Balance it.

"Everything on the table—loopholes, pork, Bush tax cuts. "And then you gotta have a reform piece. Actually, that should come first. Clean up the relationship between lobbyists and legislators, same way we did donors and candidates. This place is a cesspool—gotta address the gifts, free trips, the revolving-door lobbying jobs for staff members."
