The Democratic Party has allowed the center of the political spectrum to move continually to the right. Polling shows Americans want to continue to support social programs, like Medicare, Medicaid, and social security, Americans believe, top tax rates are too low, defense spending is too high. The public believes the economic recovery and unemployment is more important than the deficit. We as Americans know there has been no shared sacrifice, the middle class is disappearing, and the working poor suffer cuts they cannot afford, while wealthy corporations reap record profits. In 2008 Americans said they wanted a new path, they said they wanted health care reform, not insurance regulations reform, they could not understand, that could be easily misrepresented by conservatives. Even a small public option, would have been better than complicated regulatory reform that may never be implemented. Americans wanted Wall Street to pay for their mistakes; we would have been okay bailing out the banks, if we had broken them up afterwards. TBTF banks are again setting record profits while the real economy suffers.

The definition of “fiscal conservatism” is to cut taxes and regulations on most powerful, and redistribute the wealth of the middle class to the wealthiest one percent of the population “Economic Darwinism.” Democratic candidates not only fail to stand with us they campaign as “fiscal Conservatives” it is the democratic party that has moved the center so far right that the radical right is now main stream. The Tea party stands on a failed ideology, but at least they stand for something, the democrats have not only failed us but seem to be proud of it. Democrats run for office as “fiscal conservatives,” rather than “fiscal progressives.”
