A Better Third Way

The article discusses the characteristics of the "third way" vision of the United States' politics. Current "Democratic Leadership Council" documents call for privatizing social security, introducing medicare vouchers, eliminating the national debt and unleashing a new economy. It is time for a new liberal philosophy to supersede not only old liberal approaches but those of new democrats as well. This would share the orthodox third way premise that traditional liberal and conservative approaches are wanting and would offer a dramatically different program aimed at addressing fundamental problems.
