However, if I thought like a Democrat, I'd say that the Dems have to give
up
their fiscal conservatism (balance the budget, balance the budget, ad
nauseum). Instead, they should be saying that deficits are okay (as a way
to
fight recession) if the accumulated government debt corresponds to
government investment, in infrastructure, education, public health,
research, and the like, all of which help the economy handle the debt.
They
should also criticize this business of replacing taxing the rich with
borrowing from them and paying them interest.

I'll let true policy wonks talk about the rest.
